An 87-year-old woman waiting to see her doctor in the Cancer Outpatient Treatment Center at Straub Clinic & Hospital said she "felt healed" looking out at the garden.

"I remarked to another lady, 'It's so peaceful,' and I didn't even know what it was," Celia King said upon learning it is a "healing garden."

The garden is the hub of a newly renovated and expanded $2.4 million Cancer Center at Straub. The grand opening will be from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. tomorrow.

It was inspired by Carlton Higa, a Straub patient who died Dec. 7, 2006, at age 49 with multiple medical problems after months in the intensive care unit, said Art Gladstone, chief operating officer.
