CNN | “Healing Gardens”: The natural therapy space at San Borja Hospital

Green infrastructure for public health

On Saturday, the San Borja Hospital’s healing garden launched CNN’s Sana Mente program, which focuses on contributing to people’s mental health and well-being.

This garden , designed and developed by the Cosmos Foundation, is located within the Pediatric Neuropsychiatry Service of the San Borja Arriarán Clinical Hospital, which serves more than 30,000 patients a year.

Its more than 1,300 square meters include four areas defined by their uses: a contemplation area, a sensory and recreational area, a physiotherapy area, and a workshop area. Each of these spaces responds to the needs expressed by the community during the project assessment phase and to the technical characteristics of therapeutic gardens.
