Throughout May, a series of murals will be painted by local Chicago artists who are dedicating their time and talents to create uplifting murals inspired by, and with gratitude for, our healthcare workers. Each mural aims to encourage others to give back. You can help too! All funds raised will go to local Chicago hospitals’ COVID-19 Relief Funds, such as Cook County Health, Northwestern Memorial and Rush University Medical Center.
