A bunch of athletes, cooks, gardeners and doctors began hanging behind Stetson Library this weekend. They were the very picture of health—literally.
The figures appear on a new mural devoted to community health on the back wall of the Stetson Branch Library on Dixwell Avenue.
Community leaders, neighbors, public officials and state health care executives came out to the library Saturday morning for a celebratory unveiling of the mural. The event served as well to highlight expanded access to medical care created by the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. Community outreach representatives distributed information about obtaining coverage under Connecticut’s new insurance exchange, Access Health.
The mural, painted by local artist Katro Storm (pictured), was the product of a three-month partnership between Stetson and Access Health, which was set up to comply with the ACA. (Click here for a story about a previous mural Storm painted for Stetson.)
