Duke Raleigh Gets Gift of Gardens

Those visiting the Duke Raleigh Hospital campus will soon be able to go to pristine and tranquil gardens for respite. The Duke Raleigh Gardens are made possible through a generous lead gift from the family of Duke Raleigh Advisory Board Member Carolyn Grant.

Grant and her son, Forrest, (left) made the contribution in honor of Forrest's grandfathers, W. Carrell Willis and W. Forrest Grant. They display the plans for the gardens with Doug Vinsel, CEO of the hospital.

The gardens will be completed in three phases as funding initiatives continue. They will be located in the vacant grassy lot adjacent to Medical Office Building 7.
