Called to Care exhibit

Called to Care is an exhibit at the downtown KC Public Library that explores the history of the Trinity Lutheran Hospital School of Nursing. After more than 60 years of educating nurses through wartime, an evolving city, and dramatically changing medicine, the school closed in 1972. 50 years later, it lives on through the alumni association and the scholarships given each year as part of its legacy foundation.

This exhibit was full of design challenges, from the odd, counter-clockwise layout of the gallery to the state of the archive photos, some of which were literally falling apart. But it was a thrill to work so closely with the researcher and writer of the exhibit, and the positive reactions from the sweet senior alumni have been priceless.
