Laredo Medical Center to Unveil the 13th ‘Angel of Hope’ Painting
10/7/2022
Laredo Medical Center will unveil its 2022 ‘Angel of Hope’ painting during the 13th annual ceremony on Wednesday, October 19, in the foyer of the hospital’s main entrance.
Hortencia Peña has been selected as this year’s featured artist. Peña is a local artist and cancer survivor.
In what has become a heartfelt tradition, each year Laredo Medical Center invites a local artist to paint their rendition of an ‘Angel of Hope’ to pay tribute to local men and women who are battling cancer, are survivors of cancer or have lost their life to cancer. The painting is then signed by cancer survivors and hung in the A.R. Sanchez Cancer Center.
This year’s ‘Angel of Hope’ will hang alongside previous year’s renditions, which have been painted by Krystal Hinojosa, Anna Garcia, Cristina Zorilla Speer, Christina Castillon, Angie Moore, Sandra Esparza, Paty Orduna, Lizy Hinojosa, Dr. Anish G. Potty, Lily Michelle Saenz, Allan Gindic and Sylvia Castañeda. The Cancer Center is located on the first floor of Tower A.
The public is invited to attend the ceremony. Light refreshments will be served.
Laredo Medical Center continues to enforce its face mask policy and all who enter the hospital must wear a facemask for the safety of patients, visitors and caregivers.
