Children’s National Hospital Anniversary Art: Celebrating the First 150 Years of History

Size of the art: 60″ x 51″ x 5″

When Children’s National Hospital was looking for an extraordinary way to commemorate their 150th anniversary story, Lawrence Romorini’s One Of A Kind 3-dimensional art was their answer.

Over 18 months, Children’s National and One Of A Kind teamed up to review the hospital’s archives, selecting images and 3D items to reflect the hospital’s pediatric focus, care, research, community, growth, and expertise since 1870. The time, creativity, and effort resulted in an amazing piece of anniversary art to celebrate Children’s past and present. (more…)

A Hospital Anniversary Idea – Connecting Past with Present, Inspiring Hope for the Future

©2009 One Of A Kind, Inc. Art Studio.  Created by Lawrence M. Romorini.  Size of the art: 41″ x 37″ x 5.5″

Art we have created over the past 25 years for hospital anniversaries continues to communicate mission, values, and expertise during the unprecedented health challenges of 2020-2021. We honor the frontline caregivers who write a new chapter in their hospital’s history, with their sacrifice and lifesaving skills. And we hope their hospital’s lobby art brings good memories and inspiration as they revisit their legacy.

As scientists study how our physical environment affects us, we are learning that the art in hospitals is more important than we ever imagined. There is now a large body of research behind the selection of evidence-based art. This method of choosing artwork aims to help hospital administrators make decisions that are scientific rather than purely aesthetic. Some visual elements, particularly artwork that includes natural themes and people, have shown to be beneficial to patient recovery and staff morale. Laura Landro explores this idea in an interesting article for the Wall Street Journal. The article looks at ways hospitals are using art to improve patient care and the healing process. (more…)
