The Wall of Courage mural unveiled July 9 at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital honors Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) patients who have spent more than a month in the unit. The idea for the mural, created by artist Katherine Larson, came from nurses who are inspired by the children. "Some of our children can't go outside, so this is a way to bring nature to them," explains Sherry Klopp, a PICU registered nurse. (Left photo courtesy UMHS, right photo by Mary Beth Carlson) |
