WHS UNVEILS QUILTS MADE OF PANDEMIC CLOTH MASKS
“ This year marks the 125th anniversary of the Washington Health System and also the second year battling through the COVID-19 pandemic ,” says Brook Ward , President and CEO of Washington Health System . “ There have been many symbolic representations of the pandemic , but nothing seems more prominent than the masks we all wore as residents in the community and continue to wear as health care workers inside our facilities .
“ As a way to recognize the sacrifice , challenges and deep sense of pride our WHS team members have for our communities , we asked the Martha Washington Quilters Guild to partner with us to create a piece of artwork that will remind us of this journey .”
These framed works of art are quilts made of cloth face masks . “ During the process , we asked our team members to donate their previously worn and washed cloth masks to be used in this special project ,” explains Ward . “ They eagerly contributed as a way to honor their hard work and to reflect on the struggles we all went through together .”
