Two artists commissioned for mural projects at Jacobi and Lincoln Hospitals

Art plays a critical role in empowering the physical, mental, and behavioral health of both patients and healthcare staff,” Biaggi said. “Especially during this period of great isolation, art can serve as an important tool to work through the physical and emotional trauma brought on by this pandemic. I appreciate the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund and the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City for bringing this program to NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi, and extend my deepest gratitude to the artists, Andrei Krautsou and Yuliya Puhach, for sharing their talent to brighten our community
