The Dr. Lisa Ventrella-Lucente Garden

The Dr. Lisa Ventrella-Lucente Healing Garden is a peaceful addition to the existing Healing Garden at Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare, offering patients, families, and staff a welcoming outdoor retreat. Designed to provide comfort through nature, the garden allows visitors to relax, enjoy lunch, take a walk, or share meaningful conversations in a calming patio setting with tables, benches, shaded trees, and new landscaping. The space also supports mental health and rehabilitation patients by providing opportunities to experience the therapeutic value of gardening.

This capital campaign was made possible through the generous support of many community partners, including the Ventrella Family, Saturn Tool & Die Inc., The Stephanie and Barry Zekelman Foundation, Lisa & Brian Schwab Foundation, Petretta Construction, Rosati Family Foundation, FA Investments, Caesars Windsor Cares, Omega Tool Corp., LiUNA!625, and The Alan Quesnel Family Foundation. Special thanks are also extended to Cheryl and Alec Pinsonneault for donating the Children at Play Statue, and to Masotti Construction and Lakeshore Landscaping for helping bring this vision to life.
