Broward Health North recently partnered with the Foundation For Hospital Art to hold a
PaintFest® for cancer patients and their caregivers. A PaintFest® is a unique opportunity for can-
cer patients to take a break from treatment and participate with other patients, caregivers and staff to
complete six-panel pieces of artwork that will be prominently displayed in the Comprehensive
Cancer Center. At the event, teams of two, consisting of a cancer patient and either a caregiver or
staff member worked together to paint the artwork. “It was wonderful to be a part of this event
which allowed patients and caregivers to celebrate together through art,” said Pia Ferro,
Comprehensive Cancer Center patient. The completed art panels will be sent back to the Foundation
For Hospital Art to be placed together as one work of art. Once completed Broward Health North
will hold an unveiling as the pieces of artwork are hung in the Cancer Center.
