MGH GARFIELD® GOING ON MUCH-NEEDED VACATION 

Since May of 2007, Garfield^® has diligently stood guard near the front entrance of Marion General Hospital. The lasagna-loving cat, dressed in appropriate medical garb, smiles and greets those who enter MGH or go by on Wabash Avenue. 

His mischievous smile is infectious. His purpose is simple. He provides a moment to stop, pause, smile, and laugh as we go about our usual, hectic lives. 

However, after three years, Garfield^®, like his human counterparts, is entitled to a much-needed vacation. No hot, sunny vacation spot for this feline. He doesn't like to sweat.

He will be relaxing in a cool, air-conditioned Midwestern spa, located in Southwestern Ohio. As you can well imagine, staff has been instructed to cater to his every wish and pamper him around the clock while he receives repairs.  

His suitcase is packed, and he will be boarding the trailer to Cincinnati on Friday, August 27 for an approximately two-week vacation. As a tribute, Allspice Café (MGH's cafeteria) will not serve lasagna while he is gone. Just kidding folks, in his absence we had to stand-in and make you smile.    

 See you in a couple of weeks! Garfield® 

 Purpose, Worthwhile Work and Making a Difference.
