Motivating mural

Three-year-old patient Josh Schantz stands in front of a farm mural at the U-M Health System’s C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital. Pediatric therapists are finding that the new hand-painted murals motivate children. Josh, who had surgery to allow him to walk, and who wears corrective leg braces, can’t wait to come to the pediatric rehabilitation and therapy area to see the murals, says his mom, Karen Schantz.
