Living Tributes
Enlivened by the spirits of those beloved to the Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital community, the commemorative grove is a living tribute to those who have made a difference in the lives of their families and community. The grove is a beautiful stand of flowering trees located near the front of the hospital.
It is integral to the 40-acre healing environment surrounding the hospital, which includes patient rooms facing toward unparalleled views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, walking trails, and peaceful spaces like a pond, labrynth and outdoor amphitheater.
We thank all the friends who have chosen to honor or remember family members, caregivers, staff and volunteers by planting a tree in our commemorative grove, and sharing the nature’s extraordinary healing powers with our community.
Plant your tree
When you plant a tree in our commemorative grove, you share peace and healing with our entire community. We invite you to choose from one of four varietals of flowering trees. Each tree will be designated by a unique marker installed at its base.
