Shelley Buresh, Executive Director of the Foundation said, “As was echoed by so many at the event on Saturday, we could not have selected a more deserving person than Tim to receive this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award. He has and continues to be a true champion for St. Joseph Health System and the community. We are very blessed with his support and leadership.”

In June 2007, St. Joseph Health System Foundation hosted its first Huron Shoreline Art Show to help create a serene and comforting atmosphere for patients and visitors. The art show provided an opportunity to create a partnership and showcase the wonderful talent  of the area’s artists in the hallways of the hospital.
Three shows are hosted per year displaying approximately 85 pieces of work at each show over a three-month period. These juried shows consist of all medium types including watercolor, oil, pastel, acrylic, pencil, mixed media and photography.
To participate in the art show please click Art Show Registration Form. All accepted art is for sale with a percentage of the proceeds donated to support the purchase of art for permanent display in patient rooms and throughout the hospital. |
