Wall of courage to be unveiled Wednesday at BUH
Visiting a hospital is never easy. Whether as a patient or a visitor it often can be stressful, intimidating and lonely.
Knowing this first hand Battlefords Union Hospital (BUH) Foundation Executive Director Claudette McGuire decided a change to the ambience would be a huge help to lift the spirits of those visiting the third floor of the hospital.
“Before the chemotherapy unit moved, there was a wall that featured wall art the read Courage Lives Here,” McGuire remembered. “I thought ‘I really like that. Wouldn’t that look nice as a display.’”
It was a chance meeting with renowned photographer Warne Noyce last summer that really got the BUH courage wall rolling for McGuire.
