Medical Advocacy Mural Project Let’s Change the Face of Health Care
Do you know this face?                   Do you know this name? He is not the patient in room 6218 He is not “unfortunate ym 39yrs old..” He is Frederick Allen Holliday II, Phd. He was a loving husband, a devoted father, A professor of film studies and a great  friend. He was hospitalized for 79 days with a  diagnosis of Kidney Cancer.
Do you know this face?                    Do you know this name? She is not “the  wife in room unhappy with progress” She is not “little miss A-type personality” She is Regina Holliday. I paint myself  in the picture. I am loving mother, an artist and I was the wife to a great man. On May 30th 2009 I placed my first mural  In an attempt to change the face of healthcare
This is my husband’s medical record. I was told it would cost  73 Cents  per page  and I would have to wait 21 days to get a copy I eventually got a copy, and despite its many errors, it was instrumental in guiding Fred’s care. I used it to create an easy to understand “facesheet.”
Then I painted it on a wall in a local Deli for all of our neighbors to see… Next, my new friends in the world of Health 2.0 began blogging.
After spending his last six days at home, Fred died on June 17th 2009. On June 23rd, I began painting 73 Cents.
Painting Advocacy      meets         Social Media
“Shouldn’t Art stick to what it does best- the delivery of pleasure?  And forget about being a Paintbrush warrior.  Or, is it when the bombs are dropping we find out what art is really for?” -Power of Art by Simon Schama I painted 73 Cents from June 23rd to September 30th 2009.  It is still there today, at 5001 Connecticut Ave. in Washington, DC.  It is a monument to Fred and patients everywhere. And just like the internet, it advocates 24 hours a day and you cannot tell it to shut up.
These people are advocating for better medical care for all of us…  Do you know these faces?  Do you know these names?

“Give Us Our Dammed Data” for The Clinovations Gallery Show on 7-29-10  Can we use our Cognitive Surplus  and activate our Consequential Strangers to help  the Empowered Patient? Do you wonder if it matters if someone hears the patient’s story? Do you doubt that working together  we can create a better medical system?
On Tuesday the 13th 2010, I presented a speech at  Health and Human Services about the importance of patient access to the electronic record. Politely, I echoed e-Patient Dave’s call to action- Give us our data.  How did I get to speak? Because a husband and wife who own a Deli gave me a wall; a man who owns a gas-station gave another wall.  I painted and you blogged, tweeted and posted on Facebook.   We are all patients in the end. Together, let’s change the face of health care.
Presents An Exhibit of Paintings  by Regina Holliday e-Patient Ephemera “73 cents meets the world of data capture”  Thursday, July 29, 2010   6 to 9pm 1000 Potomac Ave, NW  Suite 125  Georgetown, District of Columbia
