A. O. Sullivan Excellence in Education Award - The Cardinal Hill Therapeutic Garden Program

A. O. Sullivan Excellence in Education award honors an organization or entity that has developed and implemented programs which increase the level of knowledge, education, and career opportunity within a healthcare environment.

This year, the award was presented to The Cardinal Hill Therapeutic Garden Program. Cardinal Hill’s staff believe that in order to promote the motto "give ability a chance” all therapeutic interventions should be explored. With this in mind, they started the Therapeutic Garden program with the idea to create a space for clients to engage in meaningful activities outdoors as part of their therapy program. Thanks to a grant from the Junior League of Lexington, Cardinal Hill was able to create a place staff could bring clients for therapy that expanded the traditional opportunities for rehabilitation.
