“The bus project promoted healing and enhanced self-esteem during a very vulnerable time for dozens of Dell Children’s patients, Art is a powerful outlet and a particularly effective way for ill and injured children to express themselves in ways that words often cannot. Imagine the pride they and their families feel when they see their creations—larger than life—on the side of a city bus! This project, as well as [Artists in Hospitals founder] Ian Cion’s popularity with the kids, was a tremendous success and a beautiful illustration of collaboration among patients and their families, the medical center, and the community.”
--Chris Brown, Director of Child Life and Family Centered Care, Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas
