Blue skies in the NICU
Pike Note
Thanks to painter Carol Anthony (above), blue skies and billowing clouds now envelope parents and their infants up in the hospital’s Newborn Intensive Care Unit on floor 6 of the Mary Horrigan Connors Center. On June 2, Anthony put the finishing touches on walls and ceilings in the NICU's elevator lobby and overnight and daytime parents' rooms, also inscribing poetry and messages of hope on her wallboard “canvas.” Anthony’s work was made possible by John “Jack” Connors, Jr., former board chairman at BWH who now holds that post at Partners HealthCare System. In 1999, Connors and his wife Eileen made the largest gift in BWH history in support of women’s health. In gratitude, BWH leaders named the hospital's 12-story women’s health facility the Mary Horrigan Connors Center for Women’s Health, in memory of Connors' late mother.
