Children's Healthcare, Tiny Doors partner to inspire patients with garden display

5-year-old Misa, a patient at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, stands with the new Tiny Doors Atlanta display in the garden.

Children's Healthcare of Atlanta is always looking for different, unique ways to motivate patients. Recently, the system partnered with Tiny Doors Atlanta to add a new element to one of its gardens.

Tiny Doors Atlanta can be found throughout the city and have become a popular attraction. It took hours to build the new display at the Egleston hospital complete with a tiny door painted in Children's signature green

"The project is designed to motivate patients to get out of bed for a garden walk – even when they aren’t always feeling their best – and inspire imagination that catapults them to far away magical places outside of the hospital," according to a news release.

Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and Tiny Doors partnered for this display in the Egleston garden.

Children's said it is the first tiny door to be ADA-compliant and features a widened door frame and wheelchair ramp.

For National Hospital Week, Children's and Tiny Doors decorated the display with themes "Tie-Dye Tuesday" and "Wellness Wednesday."

Tiny Doors will install two more displays at other Children's locations. The garden is only open for patients and their families.
