12 Years of Healing Photo Art
Photo by Elaine Poggi
12 years ago I founded The Foundation for Photo/Art in Hospitals in honor of my mother who spent the last three months of her life in the hospital trying to recover from Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
It’s been a wonderful experience for me and I do believe our more than 4500 nature photos are helping to create healing environments in almost 300 healthcare facilities on 7 continents!
Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement. I appreciate it as do the thousands of patients, family members, and care givers who are benefiting from our beautiful photos!
