So not the GayWay
The University of Minnesota Medical Center may have a sterling reputation for patient care and innovation, but we have a serious problem with wallpaper, paint colors, and artwork. And this is one of the nicer hospitals I've been in. As appropriate, I will add surreptitious iPhone examples as I wander these mauvey-beige halls in the coming days. Because I Care.

Perhaps they are using the decor as a subtle means of encouraging self-healing. The faster patients get better, the sooner they can escape the hotel lobby art.

Reasons to live in Montevideo:
Brand new hospital (2009), decorated exclusively with local schoolkids' and local artists' work (my favorite is work by my former student, west-central Minnesota’s premier rockin’ cowgirl accordionist, Easy Bean farm owner and mother to Mabel and Arlo, Malena Handeen).

Sad to say that mauvey-beige is an improvement over years past. I remember, back in the day, the frequently used pastel color that we called "anesthesia green."
