Saint Joseph Hospital physician Christy Chaudhuri came up with the idea for the mural. She said that doctors and nurses don't get to be tired, visibly sad or quit during the pandemic.

"(Dr. Chaudhuri) wanted to create the mural to visibly thank her coworkers for their grit and determination and to represent the human element behind the battle with COVID-19," stated the hospital in a news release.
