Medical Center Receives Gift of Artwork

Recently Sound Shore Medical Center’s Emergency Department received a much-anticipated gift from the New Rochelle Jewish Coalition.

The colorful, six-panel canvas depicting a mother and baby giraffe is on display in the pediatric waiting area of the Emergency Department. The handsome gift is not only a nice addition to the décor and a pleasure for the children, but also a lovely reminder of the caring individuals who painted it.

Marcia Assor of the New Rochelle Jewish Coalition applied for and received grant monies to assemble artwork to benefit New Rochelle. With the funds, Assor chose to purchase designs from the Foundation for Hospital Art and solicit student and adult volunteers from six of the area synagogues to help complete the hands-on art pieces. The volunteers would bring the art to life.

After many hours of work on three murals and 35 volunteers later, Assor contacted Sound Shore Medical Center with the offer of one of their completed pieces – an eye-catching mural.
