Watch time lapse of the mural going up!

In March, Nicklaus Children&'s Hospital unveiled a new art installation at the hospital's main campus, thanks to the generosity of Steven McKean, Co-Founder and CEO of ApexEdge, Evan Koorse, Co-Founder and President of TSC Miami, and David (Lebo) Lebatard, a world-renowned Cuban artist who created the wall mural. 

The mural overlooks the Advanced Pediatric Care Pavilion, bringing color and cheer to the courtyard area, with the words “Inspiring hope and healing” written across the middle. The mural honors the many doctors, nurses, caregivers and staff at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital who helped generations of children and families.

“My initial gratitude for Nicklaus Children’s Hospital came in 2005 when my daughter was admitted with a Staph infection. She spent three weeks in the hospital battling the infection. Quite simply, the hospital team saved her life. In 2011, I was afforded the privilege of serving on the hospital board in various capacities. Over the years, and even in 2022, the hospital has continued to help our family in difficult and trying times," said McKean.

He said bringing the art project to Nicklaus Children’s meant the world to them, and they hope it conveys their appreciation and love for the healthcare heroes who care for children in the community.
