Artist Mary Haas-Hackett works on a new wall mural in the waiting room of our Chelsea Office. The mural of Chelsea Park was part of updates to our office in the summer of 2006. Artist Shelly Schwartz focused on completing our patient exam rooms. In addition to our "Animal Room," featuring the animals of the four continents, she created a "Sea Room" and a "State of Michigan" room featuring our state symbols. Children can play "I Spy Michigan" while looking for the Robin - our state bird, the Apple Blossom - our state flower, and the Painted Turtle - our state reptile among other symbols. Mary and Shelly's work on our office was featured in the Aug. 17, 2006, edition of the Chelsea Standard.
