Working with staff and medical students, this project was implemented at the public hospital in San Lorenzo Paraguay. Patients and their families created artworks with text reflecting upon their hopes and experiences with the healthcare system that were displayed in the main corridor of the Museo del Hospital de Clinicas, Asunción, Paraguay. A "sampler" display of this project was on view in the conference lobby area as part of an Examined Life presentation on the larger project. The conference focuses on the links between medicine, the humanities and the arts.
