ATLANTA, USA: Many dental professionals who had a few extra minutes to spare at the recent Hinman Meeting stopped by and visited the Foundation for Hospital Art, which was present on the exhibit hall floor.

The foundation asked meeting attendees to help create murals to be donated to local medical facilities.

On Thursday, dental professionals were putting their creative skills to use painting artwork to be donated to the Good Samaritan Health Center of Gwinnett, GA, USA. The Good Samaritan Health Center of Cobb, GA, USA, and the Shepherd Spinal Center of Atlanta, GA, USA, also were to receive murals created by Hinman Meeting attendees.

Those who participated in the painting of the murals said it was fun and easy — and it was for a good cause.
