The Kidney Dialysis Ward at the Amsterdam Children's Hospital - "The Greatness of The Small"
Emiliano Campobello has a special passion for creating murals and paintings for healing spaces. In 2003, he was commissioned to paint three areas for The Amsterdam Children's Hospital (Emma Kinderziekenhuis): a day-clinic waiting room, the Emergency Room waiting area, and the Kidney Dialysis Ward. It was while painting the Kidney Dialysis ward that he fully realized the healing qualities of the work they were making. The self-esteem of the child patients there grew, the care-givers were happier, and visitors had a more positive attitude as they entered. The artwork he has created for children's hospitals, pediatricians, childrens dental clinics is some of the work he is most proud of.

Comments from WIC staff: The waiting room feels a lot calmer, quieter and relaxed / It is more kid friendly. / The mural gives our program more credibility and that we care about our participants and how their waiting room looks. / Kids are not afraid to come to WIC anymore, they enjoy it now. / Kids and parents can pass the time by looking for various animals - look, learn and listen to each other. / ..very attractive, colorful and is a fantasyland.Meg Beard MPH, CHES, RD, IBCLC
