As a Centre of Excellence for Mental Health and a leader in the care of older adults, Victoria Hospital provides help and hope for patients who are on a journey toward wellness and recovery. Each year, thousands of patients, families, staff and members of our community visit The Vic Miracle Garden, a peaceful environment of comfort and healing. This award-winning community space is specifically designed to nurture physical, mental and spiritual health. The sights and sounds of nature engage the senses, stimulating self-renewal. Patients receiving treatment in the Buhler Cancer Centre at Victoria Hospital benefit from a peaceful and private view of this serene environment to support their healing and recovery.
