On Wednesday, April 26th, fourth, fifth and sixth graders from local elementary school P.S.99 presented Jamaica Hospital Medical Center with six paintings they created as part of an art project.
The theme of their artwork included mermaids, as well as scenes and landmarks that can be found around New York City.
Each student was awarded a certificate of appreciation from the hospital during an event in their honor. In attendance were the school’s principal, parent coordinator, art teacher and student chaperones. Representing Jamaica Hospital were Bruce Flanz; President and CEO, William Lynch; EVP and COO, Dr. Geoffrey Doughlin; Chairperson Emergency Medicine and other leadership from the Emergency Department.
The children’s creations are currently on display outside the Pediatric Emergency Room and will definitely make this area a much brighter place.
