Many organizations shy away from exterior naming opportunities. Signs suitable for the outdoors can be harder to install, require more effort to maintain, and often cost more than interior signage. However, some environments warrant the extra effort. Such is the case at the Willson Hospice House in Albany, Georgia, where outdoor gardens and pathways create a unique and soothing experience for patients, families and visitors to the hospice. The design was inspired by the Atamasco lilies found on the site. The lilies now grow along the Nancy Lopez Walking Trail that encircles the hospice campus.

The Willson Hospice House is an inspirational facility, funded by the largest-to-date capital campaign in the region led by the Phoebe Foundation. Hundreds of community members participated and are recognized on the donor recognition wall inside the main entrance of the hospice. Donors also gave in support of specific rooms throughout the facility while others chose outside spaces.
