DANVILLE, IL. (March 13, 2024) – SIHF Healthcare proudly announces a collaborative initiative with the talented students at Danville High School’s Arts Department. To humanize our healthcare environment while uplifting young talents, we are inviting local leaders and media to join us for the unveiling of student art within the SIHF Healthcare location at Danville High School.
SIHF Healthcare strongly believes in the power of art to inspire, connect, and heal. This partnership will not only provide an opportunity for students to showcase their artistic talents but also contribute to creating an inviting, supportive environment for those we serve.
The students’ creativity will bring an added layer of warmth to our Health Center, reinforcing our commitment to compassion, respect, and stewardship. It is our hope that this enriching collaboration will further establish a sense of community pride and connection.
“It’s an honor for the art club to be chosen to create artwork for the health center,” said Michaela Gomez, Art Teacher at Danville High School. “Our #1 goal this year was to do more for the community. What better way than to begin with the health center that serves our community schools! The students were so excited for this opportunity and poured so much positivity into each painting created. The DHS art club has learned so much from this experience and we are excited to show everyone the finish products. Thanks for believing in us, SIHF Healthcare!”
Kena Gray, Senior Vice President at SIHF Healthcare, added, “At SIHF Healthcare, we strive to promote a culture of inclusivity and diversity. Integrating art into our healthcare environment further enables us to engage our community, build trust and offer comprehensive services in a nurturing setting.”
The art unveiling event will take place at 12:30pm on Friday, March 15. Light refreshments will be provided. The Danville High School Health Center is located at 20 East Fairchild, Danville, IL 61832.
