On April 21, Jefferson Health Cherry Hill Hospital hosted art students and teachers from Cherry Hill High School West for an unveiling & luncheon to celebrate the completion of the students’ multi-medium waiting room mural which the students began in September 2025.
The mural, which wraps around three walls of a 3rd floor waiting room on Jefferson’s campus, measures 50 feet x 8 feet, and uses mediums such as acrylic paint, glass mosaics, ceramic tile and photo paper to depict seasonal scenes representative of the New Jersey and Philadelphia region.
The idea for Jefferson’s collaboration with the Cherry Hill High West art students came from Rory Levinson, a nurse manager. As the waiting room doesn’t have windows, Levinson wanted to create a more engaging, comfortable room for patients and visitors to relax in by “bringing the outside inside.”
Art teachers and art students from Cherry Hill High School West who worked on the mural include:
Students:
Ava Zoltek
Sadie Bittner
Kate Hebben
Essence Bishop
Sydney Dunn-Krause
Teachers:
Amy Giampoala
Andrea Savidge
Jaime Cream
Francesco Gambino
