The idea is to brighten the spirits of visitors to the children’s hospital. Nancy Glover, City of Temple Director of Housing and Community Development, says,

“Distraction is one of the best ways to help a child cope with necessary medical care the Market Loop Mural will play a key role in providing much needed distraction for children on their way to the hospital for treatment.”

Children visiting the hospital can oftentimes get nervous, and the mural can help take their mind off things. The same can be said for parents as well.

As you can see below, there are plenty of spots available for those looking to do some painting.
