Memorial Garden Dedication

On July 13, 2007, Family Health Center of Battle Creek had a Memorial Garden Dedication ceremony.  The garden was made in remembrance of four employees who have passed.  Tom Ellis, Cindy Cooley, Rita Kline, and Karen Speelman.  Members from each family, staff members, and Board members attended the dedication.  Time was spent remembering the contributions each one of them made to the Family Health Center.  Several staff members helped with the garden by building the pergola, installing a fountain, planting flowers and bushes, etc.  A bronze plaque has been placed in the garden in memory of each employee.
