Hope Sings so spirits can soar

When the new Lutheran Hospital opens, a simple, elegant sculpture will call the third-floor rooftop garden her new home. Hope Sings, created by Colorado artist Lorri Acott, is just one of dozens of works of art that will add beauty to the new facility and give patients and visitors the opportunity for moments of calm, encouragement and gratitude.

Standing five feet tall, Hope Sings will be cast in bronze and placed in the new Lutheran Hospital’s third-floor rooftop garden. The sculpture was partly inspired by “Hope” is the thing with feathers, a poem by Emily Dickinson.

Andrea Burch, Lutheran’s president, and her husband, David, have been granted the privilege of naming the statue once she’s in her new home, thanks to their $25k donation to The Legacy Continues Campaign, which the Lutheran Foundation board will match. Our deep thanks to Burch and everyone who’s donated to the new hospital.

Naming opportunities for works of art, seating areas, rooms, outdoor spaces and more at Lutheran Hospital still are available. Please contact Lutheran Foundation director Kathie Repola to learn more.
