This first picture is of the sunset from one of the patient lounges on Dad's floor - it is looking down Carnegie Street toward the Cleveland Indians stadium. The middle one is taken from the Rooftop Pavilion on the top floor of the Miller Heart Building. It is looking at downtown Cleveland. The one on the right is taken from the same location just looking out at the lake. The Rooftop Pavilion is all glass on one side and is very relaxing. The Clinic hosts tea there several days a week, they also have chair massages and cooking classes. Patients, if they are able, can go pretty much anywhere in the hospital. You see them in the cafeteria, out in the front sitting on benches in the sun, and at the Rooftop Pavilion you can take them for breakfast or lunch. It is really a neat concept - get them out and about if they are up to it - walking with IV poles or in wheelchairs. It gives them a sense of some freedom and seems to improve their mindset.
