our legacy of Caring

In Memory Of Graduates of the

Aberdeen Hospital School of Nursing Donations

Celebrate a special graduate of the Aberdeen Hospital School of Nursing by making a gift in their honour to the Echoes of Healing Commemorative Garden.

If you want to commemorate a special Aberdeen Hospital School of Nursing graduate in your life, you can contribute to the Echoes of Healing Commemorative Garden. It’s a meaningful way to celebrate someone special in your life by making a living garden that creates a tranquil space for patients, family, and staff to find solace. Our hospital has served the community for 129 years, and we are pleased to create a Healing Garden that will act as a sanctuary for those accessing care and their support persons. Your donation will help us build and maintain the Healing Garden. So why not honour your loved ones or yourself by making a difference

IMO

To celebrate and remember the contributions of those who are no longer with us, we are creating a place of reflection, tranquility, and remembrance on the grounds of the Aberdeen Hospital.

As part of this meaningful project, each honoured graduates will be included in a Memory Book to be housed in the School of Nursing Archives, and their story will also be shared on our public Facebook page and on the In Memory – Our Legacy of Caring page on the society website, where their impact can be acknowledged and celebrated by the wider community.
