    October 6, 2023

    We are excited to participate in October's First Friday Art Walk festivities! We are hosting an Art Reception for a new installation called 'We are All Connected.' This installation, developed by quilters during the pandemic when connecting with others was difficult, features nine unique quilt panels joined together by a fuchsia ribbon. The panels represent the importance of acknowledging, accepting, and appreciating the differences that make us human while recognizing our interconnectedness.
     
    Guests can see the installation up close, meet the talented artists, and enjoy some light refreshments. The reception will occur this Friday, October 6th, from 5:00-7:00 p.m., in the Long Term Care Hallway. Please enter through the Long Term Care and Rehabilitation Services Entrance (lower level of the hospital).
