ATLANTIC GENERAL HOSPITAL TO PARTICIPATE IN BERLIN MURAL PAINTING

Berlin, Md. – From Tuesday, May 7^th to Thursday, May 9^th Atlantic General Hospital will be painting the fourth and final section of a community mural that will be installed in Berlin later this spring.

For the last three years, the mural has been developed and painted section by section by local school children and staff, community organizations, and Berlin citizens. The mural has been painted at many locations around town. The final section will be painted by Atlantic General Hospital associates, medical staff, volunteers and patients under the supervision of lead project artist John Donato.

The artwork will demonstrate the importance of our hospital and health system in the community.

Donato is a professional mural artist who specializes in managing and creating community murals collaboratively with all age groups and skill levels. The painting sessions do not require any previous artist experience.

The final piece will be unveiled at the Atlantic General Hospital 26^th Anniversary Celebration on Thursday, May 16^th prior to its installation on Main Street in Berlin. A portion of the Mural will also be donated back to the hospital for all to enjoy.

If you would like to sign up to join in painting this piece that will leave a lasting legacy in our community please contact Toni Keiser, Vice President of Public Relations by calling 410-641-9678.
