The Pediatric Department is proud to showcase the art work in the murals in all the examination rooms, as well as the hallways which are covered with hot air balloons. The murals are intended to encourage and support imagination.
Stephen Ardovino, a self-taught painter, of Birmingham, AL was brought in to paint the murals in the Pediatric Department. It took Ardovino a little more than a day to paint each exam room and about two weeks to paint the balloon scenes in the hallways.
