Feature Story
Art for Healing
With the opening of the region’s only dedicated facility for heart, the Sentara Heart Hospital®, Mrs. McKinnon wanted its entrance to be a source of encouragement for families, patients and visitors. As a result, the McKinnons gave a $50,000 contribution to the Sentara Heart Hospital for Life Dance, a metallic sculpture with flowing lines created by Mei Chang and Ferdinand Meyer V, FMG Design, Inc., symbolizing the beginning of a new life dance.
The McKinnons have a strong interest in Sentara. They have been patients of the Sentara Heart program with Arnold having his first heart bypass in 1987 and second in 1996.
In December 2005, he received a new defibrillator implant. “I am very appreciative of Sentara’s cardiac care,”
says McKinnon. In fact Mr. McKinnon was so happy with
the care received that he agreed to participate in a study with the new Sentara Cardiovascular Research Institute.
“I trust Sentara. For 20 years, I have had various experiences with the cardiac surgeons, nurses and other staff,” says McKinnon. “They are excellent and make a patient feel well-cared for and comfortable.” Arnold and Oriana McKinnon in front of Life Dance.
Bringing hope through the beauty of art can be an important part of the healing process. Arnold and oriana McKinnon, longtime contributing members of the norfolk community, embrace this philosophy.
