April 26, 2011 – Tour of the Dublin Methodist Hospital

We fortunate Kiwanians were invited to tour the Dublin Methodist Hospital

Overlooking the Lobby

again. (see slideshow here)

We started the day with lunch and a regular meeting. Our tour guides joined us and gave us some background about the hospital and how to become a volunteer.  Hang in there, George.  Your time will come.

We visited the meditation room which included the sacred books from many religions.  Tim thought he could potentially be taken by the rapture. The view of the lobby from above was great. Our guide pointed out that the waterfall has three layers each originating from a different level.

The tour included many areas – Emergency, maternity, pharmacy, a patient room, and the surgery waiting room as well as a peek into one of the operating rooms. Photography was limited to protect the privacy of patients. There is plenty of light throughout the facility, outdoor seating areas and a central atrium with a huge bird mobile. Good bye Birds…
