Starting in 2013, The Gratitude Graffiti Project paired up with Atlantic Health System in New Jersey as part of their community outreach program, to see if a project on expressing gratitude had a place in a hospital setting.
A place where people are sick, receiving care around the clock from competent caring hands, welcoming life, dying with dignity, laughing, resting, recovering, struggling, and healing.
So they chose the font lobby with a great amount of glass windows and doors and left a bunch of markers for patrons to use. Here are some pictures of the end result.
As a follow up, the Atlantic Health System expanded the project in 2014 to all four of their hospitals and kept it going way past Thanksgiving, into Christmas because it was so well received and therapeutic in healing.
Some of these pictures are on our TGGP brochure which all are welcome to use and share.
That is awesome to see. It’s nice to be reminded of what we can be grateful in places that can be hard.
