Regina Holliday, Patient Artist Advocate
Regina began painting a series of murals
depicting the need for clarity and transparency in medical records. This
advocacy mission was inspired by her husband Frederick Allen Holliday II and
his struggle to get appropriate care during 11 weeks of continuous hospitalization
at 5 facilities. After his death resulting from kidney cancer on June 17, 2009,
she began painting a mural entitled "73 cents." It depicts the
Holliday family's journey through the medical system. Regina also paints on the
concepts discussed at medical conferences and presents them through a patients
view. In addition she began a health advocacy movement called "The Walking
Gallery."
