Allegheny Health Network's (AHN) 'Art of Caring' exhibit is
making its next stop at PNC Park as part of a special celebration
from the Pittsburgh Pirates of our region's health care heroes.
Featuring medical scrubs donated by dozens of AHN clinicians and
staff members, the 5'x10' art display will be stationed on the
Highmark Riverwalk throughout the Pirates' homestand against the
Los Angeles Angels.
Designed and built by local Pittsburgh artists, the artwork serves as a
visual representation of the AHN caregivers who exemplify the 'art
of caring' every day across AHN hospitals and outpatient
facilities. The donated medical scrubs are attached to a hand-built
wooden stand and frame that weighs more than 550 pounds. The stand
was made using a Japanese woodworking technique known as
'sashimono' which entails the assembly of wooden items without the
use of nails.
The unique display is an extension of AHN's 'We See You'
campaign which showcases the many ways that AHN and its caregivers
serve, support and "see" people throughout their lives. The
campaign also recognizes and celebrates AHN's caregivers – seeing
them at the start of their shift and at the end of a long day, and
through the joys and sorrows of caring for patients. Accompanying
the artwork is a video featuring various AHN clinicians and staff
members who respond to the question, "If your scrubs could talk,
what would they say?"
Throughout the homestand, caregivers from across the region are
offered a special ticket package to attend any of the three games
against the Angels. AHN nurses who participated in the 'We See You'
campaign will take the field to be recognized during the game
tonight, on Tuesday, May 7th.
