Patient  No  More

“I just wanted to share that even though our exhibit has now closed at the Ed Roberts Campus, everyone agreed that the mural just had to stay up so it will now be a permanent fixture of the building!  People were just blown away by it, and it continues to be a really important cultural addition to a significant historical building.”

—Emily Smith Beitiks, PhD, Associate Director, Paul K. Longmore Institute on Disability
