This wall has a story to tell.

NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln and NYC Health + Hospitals/TheFund, the philanthropic arm of the City’s public health system, have teamed up with artist Katie Yamasaki to create a one-of-a-kind mural inside a hospital stairwell that encourages staffers and patients to envision residents of the South Bronx living their healthiest life.

In the spring, Yamasaki met with community groups and NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln staff and asked them to imagine the people of the South Bronx living their healthiest lives. The discussions and suggestions became the basis for the mural.  Research suggests that exercise is a step towards prevention of some common ailments, and can improve one’s overall health.

El mural de dos y medio pisos se dio a conocer el 18 de diciembre en una ceremonia con el director ejecutivo de Lincoln, Milton Núñez y una multitud de más de 100 miembros de la comunidad, funcionarios electos y miembros del personal del hospital.

LogowebEn la primavera, Yamasaki se reunió con grupos comunitarios y personal de NYC Salud + Hospitales/Lincoln y les pidió que imaginaran a la gente del sur del Bronx viviendo sus vidas más saludables. Las discusiones y sugerencias se convirtieron en la base para el mural. La investigación sugiere que el ejercicio es un paso hacia la prevención de algunas enfermedades comunes y puede mejorar la salud general.
