Ralph Appelbaum Associates

RAA has partnered with RxART and artist Harold Ancart to engage patients and their families as they move through the main corridor of Primary Children’s Hospital Miller Family Campus in Lehi, UT (part of the extensive Intermountain Health System). Ancart’s work imagines a varied, colorful school of fish swimming through a serene, cloud-filled sky.

Primary Children’s Hospital is a not-for-profit, free-standing children’s hospital providing quality healthcare for children with complex illnesses and injuries across the United States. The Miller Family Campus will feature five floors and 66 beds and will see an anticipated 60,000 outpatient visits, 40,000 imaging visits, and 22,000 inpatient stays annually. Ancart’s mural installation will be situated in a 68-foot corridor at the heart of the hospital near the main lobby and directly in front of the education center, cafe, and pharmacy.

RAA is a corporate design partner of RxART, an organization whose mission is to help children heal through the extraordinary power of visual art. RxART commissions established contemporary artists to transform children’s hospital settings into engaging and uplifting healing environments at no cost to the hospitals.
