garden at kaiser PERMANENTE moanalua hospital

Māla Designs created the Healing Garden, a serene courtyard thoughtfully designed to support patient wellbeing, quiet reflection, and emotional restoration. This lush, private oasis offers a calming retreat enriched with carefully selected, fragrant plantings that gently engage the senses and enhance the patient experience.

Featuring an elegant palette of variegated foliage and soft white flowering plants, the Healing Garden is especially meaningful in the evening hours, when its subtle tones and textures come alive under low light.

Designed as a peaceful sanctuary for cancer patients to view during treatment, the garden also provides a welcoming place for family members and caregivers to step away, breathe deeply, and find a moment of respite from the emotional demands of supporting a loved one. It offers an opportunity to reduce stress, reconnect with nature, and return feeling more grounded and renewed.

The Healing Garden brings together nature, comfort, and compassionate design—creating a restorative environment where patients, families, and caregivers can experience moments of stillness, dignity, hope, and healing.
