The Advisory Council exists to develop connections and relationships between the Healing Garden and the communities we serve. Advisory Council members function as ambassadors and share their knowledge of constituents’ perspectives; their connections to resources, colleagues, or peers; and their philanthropic support.
To learn more about the Healing Garden’s Advisory Council you can reach out to the council’s co-chairs, Nanci Bishop or Katie Gray.
