Algoma University and Sault Area Hospital have collaborated on an initiative aimed at enhancing the patient experience through local art to "provide a sense of home" to patients in transitional care.
Together, they developed a course that brings students into the hospital to create murals for communal areas and other visual enhancements for patient rooms and hallways. As part of their studies, students consulted with Harvey and received training from DementiAbility Canada to guide their choices of colour and subject matter. Their collaborative mural design featured elements such as bushplanes, sailboats, ceramics, an aquarium, hanging plants, and scenic vistas inspired by northern landscapes.
