In the days following the tragic events at the Boston Marathon finish line, people from around the country sent messages of support to BWH staff and patients who were injured from the blast.
Those thoughtful messages included letters, get-well cards and even a banner that reads "UMaine (hearts) Boston," sent by students from the University of Maine.
All of those well wishes are now on display for everyone to read at the "Wishing Wall," located in the 75 Francis St. lobby, next to the Emergency Department entrance.
To create the art piece, Patient and Family Relations and Engineering teamed up with a Tommy Hayes, a graduate art student at Suffolk University. Hayes and his classmates came up with the idea for the display's inspired design, and Engineering created the framing for the art piece.
"As we continue with the healing process, it's profound to visibly see how many people have showed their support and kindness," said Maureen Fagan, DNP-MHA, executive director of the Center for Patients and Families.
The Wishing Wall will be on display at BWH through July.
