Not all heroes wear capes. Ours wear scrubs. Today on #NationalSuperheroDay, they wear both.
Thank you to Matthew Lange, the artist who drew these beautiful illustrations, and who is an officer in the public safety department at Aurora Medical Center Manitowoc County, for sharing his artwork with us. He says, “I wanted to put something together for the care team to offer some levity to today’s social landscape. Each of the illustrations depicts the contributions various departments provide to health care, not just now in this fight against COVID-19, but on a daily basis. I couldn’t do one for every department of course, so I focused on a few, at the same time intentionally including some medically non-direct specialties. The specialties portrayed in these illustrations are Imaging/Radiology, Facilities/Maintenance, Environmental Services/Housekeeping, Respiratory Health/Resp. Therapy and Medical.”
