The newly remodeled Spiritual Care Center at the Northeast Georgia Medical Center Gainesville campus has been named for donors Verdis C. and Mary Puckett following a signature gift.
The V.C. and Mary Puckett Center for Spiritual Care recently reopened after being refurbished to meet the needs of the Spiritual Care program. Renovations included an enhanced lobby, larger reception and conference space and lockers and bathrooms for round-the-clock chaplains. The department was also renamed Spiritual Care rather than Pastoral Care in order to better serve people of varying religious backgrounds.
“This is really for all of the people we come in contact with as a Spiritual Care department,” said Chris Jennings, director of Spiritual Care at NGMC. “We want to serve them in the best way possible, and this renovated space will help us achieve that.”
