Designed by Jean Marie Randolph and Joyce Klingensmith. The Sycamore tree, known as "Planetree", in the arch was drawn by Jean Marie Randolph. The Planetree symbolizes holistic healing, aiming to inspire wellness through not only the body but also the mind and soul.
Fountain
The marble columns in the fountain sculpture were salvaged from the Federal Building in Norfolk. The glass originally filling the center of the fountain was original Murano glass from Italy. The glass has now been replaced with smooth black river rock. The fountain was designed by Matthew Fine.

A Pair of Bandits
The bronze raccoon sculpture was made by William H. Turner from the Eastern Shore of Virginia. The name of the sculpture is "A Pair of Bandits," in honor of Sandy Deacon Whitcomb.
