During 2000 and 2001, students in 16 area schools participated in a special project hand painting ceramic tiles. These young artists were asked to paint a message of their choosing for the patients, families and staff of the new Mid Coast Hospital. Grades ranged from two through six.

The project resulted in 714 tiles which are now on display at seven highly visible locations throughout the first and second floor.

The tiles created by the young people are a tremendous contribution to our new hospital. They warm the hospital corridors and provide cheer to all who walk by. Some bring instant smiles, others bring reflections of times past or plans for the future. Every tile serves to inspire; these young people succeeded well in speaking a very personal message that will last as long as Mid Coast Hospital stands to serve the community—a very, very long time.
