Jim Tautfest, RN, had a vision to create a safe place where his psychiatric patients could get some fresh air and sunshine. It took a few years and many presentations to help raise funds, but thanks to Jim’s work, construction was completed on the Inpatient Psychiatric Terrace at CVMC in October. The bright, welcoming space now provides patients a therapeutic area with safe access to the outdoors.
