Art display featuring medical scrubs donated by dozens of AHN caregivers whose stories define the 'art of caring' will be stationed at the hospital through August 26^th

PITTSBURGH - As part of a tour across communities served by Allegheny Health Network (AHN),the network's'Art of Caring' exhibit will make its next stop at AHN Saint Vincent Hospital in Erie, Pa. beginning July 29^th. The art display features medical scrubs donated by dozens of network clinicians and staff members and is intended to serve as a visual representation of the AHN caregivers who exemplify the 'art of caring' every day.

The donated medical scrubs are attached to a hand-built, 5'x10' 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?"

The exhibit will be stationed at Saint Vincent Hospital through August 26^th.
