Artists at Adventist Midwest Health are Motivated to Create

Susan Kett is the coordinator for the NAP show at Adventist Midwest Health in Illinois. This was their third annual show and once again Sue did a terrific job bringing the hospital community together for this uplifting event.  The November 6th reception was standing room only and included a buffet, live music and wonderful speeches from the hospitals leadership.

 

Three years ago Sue was committed to bringing this show to the Adventist Midwest Health System employees and has since been dedicated to making it a great success. In her follow up this year Sue stated, “I honestly cannot tell you how important this program and your sponsorship has become to our region of hospitals. I met yesterday with a physician who couldn’t say enough about how thankful he is to have the NAP exhibit as an annual event. He knows each year that he needs to create a new piece of art to exhibit and it keeps him motivated to include painting in his life.”

 

This year’s exhibition, which included works from over one hundred artists, was hung in Adventist LaGrange Memorial Hospital from November 6th through January 6th, 2015. Sue rotates the show to a different hospital each year, allowing employees from each of the locations the opportunity to enjoy having the exhibit on display in their own space. Sue feels that “in these challenging times in Health Care, it is such a joy to bring the program to our hospitals to encourage employees and volunteers to create art knowing that it is intrinsically healing and beneficial in countless ways.”
