History of Industry Sculpture Series (2018) Healthcare & Education

This silhouette of helping hands represents the fortitude of communities building support structures that enhance strength, creativity, and productivity to make individuals and communities healthy, wealthy, wise, and sustainable. Healthcare and education are pillars supporting community viability and are a legacy of overall economic and community development. They are undercurrents of timeless necessity for a vibrant society/community and comprise the foundations for modern economic and community prosperity.
