Interior Health is proud to collaborate with local Indigenous artist Johnny Mukwa, who has donated artwork to Kootenay Lake Hospital in Nelson.

In a deeply personal gesture, Johnny donated two art pieces, Forest Spirits 1 and Forest Spirits 2, to the hospital’s oncology department. They’re hung in the hallway where oncology patients and families will see them.
