BEFORE and AFTER: The Island of Smiles for Child Neuropsychiatry.

“Putting one’s talent at the disposal of others is a noble act that deserves the support of those who, like me, since the beginning with Eppela, believe in the potential of every person. Painted Hospitals is not just any project, but is a demonstration of how every positive gesture is a harbinger of smiles, cheerfulness and solidarity, even where space is entirely occupied by pain.

Here, this is precisely why it is necessary to establish virtuous relationships, such as mentorship with MSD, in order to all contribute to the creation of a better world.”

Nicola Lencioni

CEO of Eppela

“We believe in the power of children’s imagination.
Painted Hospitals is a beautiful art project that leverages the power of color and imagination to help children hospitalized in children’s hospitals continue to smile, fantasize and travel with imagination. Gianni Rodari said that imagination can give us the keys to enter reality by new ways and can help the child learn about the world. The deep and human meaning of this project goes in this direction and therefore we wanted to support it to follow up on the magic it goes to create.”

Nicoletta Luppi

President and Chief Executive Officer MSD Italy

SMILE ISLAND

Child Neuropsychiatry

We are very proud of the collaboration with Painted Hospitals, Master Irilli was able to interpret our requests perfectly, hitting the joint goal of giving joy to hospitalized children.”

Nino Abbate

President ABC – Friends of Children in the Ward.

I would like to thank ABC Onlus, MSD, Eppela, the Polyclinic of Messina, and all the people and local companies who believed in this dream with their donations. A great team was formed with one goal: to be close to the little patients, their families and doctors. As of today, the Polyclinic begins to take on a new color, with a special welcome to banish the fears of young patients. Whenever this happens, we will have all done something important together
