Mural Created by High School Students to be Unveiled at Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital

DATE: Tuesday, April 21, 2026

TIME: Noon to 1:00 pm

PLACE: Jefferson Health Cherry Hill Hospital 3rd Floor, Area B:  2201 Chapel Ave West, Cherry Hill, NJ 08002

BACKGROUND:

On Tuesday, April 21, from noon to 1:00 pm, Jefferson Health Cherry Hill Hospital will host 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 in.”
