Maryland Hospital Brightens The Mood with Art
Wednesday Sep 30, 2009Maryland Hospital Brightens The Mood with Art in General Healthcare
These days, health care and health
insurance are pretty gloomy subjects. Heated debates, waste, fraud
and even death panels!
While we hear everyday the horrors of the health care system today, there are still plenty of positive aspects to our system and the professionals we rely on to take care of us.
Take the Anne Arundel Medical Center in Parole, Maryland, which is currently undergoing renovations. From an article in the Capitol, the third floor critical care unit is getting the worst of the effects.
Because bright construction lights and glare are seeping into patients’ rooms, hospital staff had to put dark film coverings on the windows. Talk about making a hospital room as dreary as possible.
But where we see dreariness, two AAMC nurses saw opportunity. They decided to use the construction light pollution to illuminate colorful paintings the windows and fill rooms with beautiful art.
We like it.
What a great job by the folks at AAMC of doing the turning-lemons-into-lemonade thing.
