Hi all,

Through my work with the Accessible Icon Project, I have come in contact with the Einstein Healthcare Network, a non-profit that has been helping the community for 150 years. Their speciality ranges from working with patients with mental health, addictions and eating disorders to patients who have been severely injured or paralyzed. A previous winner of the “Premier Award for Quality” by the Premier Healthcare Alliance highlights all the centers dedication to patient health and wellness.

Recently, MossRehab, a nationally recognized medical rehabilitation facility with in- and outpatient services, switched their parking lots to the Accessible Icon and decided to have their art therapy program patients celebrates the use of the new icon. Each patient expressed through paintings and drawings how they felt about the new icon and what it specifically meant for them.

Their work will be featured at the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s annual community exhibit “Bridges: Accessible Programs Builds Partnerships” Wednesday, August 27th through Sunday, September 28, 2014. Here is a sneak peak of their artwork.

In you are in the Philly area, please be sure to check out this exhibit. Even though I reside in New Jersey, I am planning on taking the trip.

Be well,
