Virtua Camden Hospital

view all

In 2000, Virtua Hospital expanded its healthcare services to offer a broader range of community services, including a family health center, farmers market and therapeutic programs.

One of the social programs, the CASTLE (Children Achieving Success Through Therapeutic Life Experiences) program helps children with severe emotional or behavioral issues. The Meditation Garden was designed as a place for the children participating in the CASTLE activities. The garden is a peaceful setting that provides areas for yoga, horticultural therapy, gardening and other nature based therapeutic activities.
