A memorial plaza was proposed for Exeter Hospital, commemorating the original nursing school, whose alumni remain a dedicated contributor group. (At one time, large hospitals maintained their own nurse training schools, now universally the province of colleges and universities.) As the approaches to the hospital are blind, i.e., unbranded and unmarked along access roads of several hundred feet after passing a single sign at one of the hospitals two entrances, this solution is designed to mark both the new main entrance as well as memorialize this important constituent group. The sign would be visible the entire length of the entrance road. The memorial is comprised of images and artifacts from the original facility and nursing school.
