California hospital chapel designed to recharge the spirit

Sutter Solano Medical Center in Vallejo, Calif., recently dedicated the first chapel the facility’s had in more than a dozen years, according to an article on the Vallejo Times Herald website.

The new chapel, a former storage space, is decorated in muted blues, grays and tans, with splashes of color in the form of a large floral bouquet and a glass-enclosed sand sculpture.

The chapel is meant to provide “a space to spiritually recharge” for patents’ family members and friends as well as hospital employees and doctors.
