McMullan Plaza
Officials unveiled The Paul McMullan Circle of Healing Plaza and sculpture as a part of the Pine Grove Spiritual Grounds project, representing the organizations’ promise to positively affect lives. This unique project and piece of art exists through the dedication of Pine Grove and Forrest General to heal patients and families, as well as enrich the Hattiesburg community. As Phase I of the Pine Grove Spiritual Grounds, the Paul McMullan Plaza and sculpture will serve as the introduction to future elements of a spiritual sanctuary where art and nature converge. Future elements include a labyrinth, glass chapel, bell towers, water feature, fire pit and meditation area.

Woullard Chapel
Recently employees and visitors noticed additional work on a corner of the first floor main hallway as the Woullard Chapel received a new look! Following a request from Pastoral Services and Engineering staff, the Forrest General Healthcare Foundation adopted the project using funds donated by employees during the employee campaign and at other times during the year. This renovation included a beautiful new interior design featuring new upholstery, carpets and paint, coordinated by Terri Lynn Warden, as well as a beautiful new stained glass window. Special thanks go to a focus group made up of employees from across the hospital who worked diligently to provide input on the renovation and choose the design of the new window. The focus group consisted of Chuck Pierce, ED; Marcus Gatlin, Lab; Howard Nobles, 4T; Desmond Jones, Registration; Teresa Favre, Patient Care Services; Brian Williamson, Pastoral Services, and Betty Bly Hatten, ED.

Meditation Area
Sitting quietly in a corner of the busy intersection of Richburg Road and 28th Avenue Extension, a wooded area at the edge of Pine Grove’s campus is showing signs of change. Cleared brush and marked trees offer the promise of continued evolution and exciting things to come, situated next to the beautiful McMullan Plaza – the first component of the Spiritual Grounds at Pine Grove. A community space that encourages healing, the Spiritual Grounds symbolizes connections – to self, to each other, and to the community. Existing through the dedication of Pine Grove to heal patients and enrich the Hattiesburg community, the Spiritual Grounds is one of three projects being supported by the Forrest General Healthcare Foundation – an organization committed to uphold Forrest General’s vision and mission for today and for the future.
