This past weekend, artists Earle Kluttz Thompson and Raines Thompson Kuppin brought their creative vision to life with a stunning transformation of our pediatric fluoroscopy suite. Their incredible work has turned the space into a vibrant and welcoming environment inspired by North Carolina’s breathtaking mountain-to-sea landscapes. The room is now a vivid tapestry of natural beauty, blending calming greens of the mountains, serene blues of the coast, and playful details that celebrate the region’s diverse wildlife and scenery.<\/p>\n

The artistry and attention to detail are truly remarkable, creating an atmosphere that is both soothing and engaging for our young patients. Photos simply cannot capture the depth and texture of their work\u2014the colors, textures, and whimsical touches radiate warmth and joy in person. We are excited to see how our pediatric population responds to this reimagined space, which is sure to make their experience more comfortable and less intimidating. Thank you to Earle and Raines for their extraordinary dedication and talent in making this vision a reality!<\/p>\n
