In planning the construction of a new hospital, leaders committed that art would be an integral part of the new facility.  A vision for the art was established and a small group of volunteers compiled one of the largest collections of regional art in the community.  Presented as a case study, attendees will learn about the tremendous interest and engagement the art has generated. The art has not only proven to be a source of comfort and healing, it has also provided an extraordinary vehicle to showcase the mission of the hospital - to provide exceptional healthcare to children.
