The Chapel is located on the second floor, next to the Surgical Waiting area.  Ionia welcomes volunteer chaplains that can assist our patients and their family members who may need spiritual guidance on their journey.

The natural garden located outside the dining area on the first floor, was built with the support of the Rotary Club of Ionia, and is meant to be a place of respite for patients, family members and caregivers. Inside the Garden is a walkway of engraved bricks in memory or honor of caregivers and community members.
