The Heathman Lodge Supports PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center HeArts of Clark County
Vancouver, WA (PRWEB) July 31, 2013 -- The Heathman Lodge and Hudson’s Bar & Grill are locally owned and operated, the alpine lodge styled hotel is located in Vancouver, Washington and was built to represent the natural beauty of the region. Built using only local products the Heathman Lodge serves as a pinnacle for local hand-hewn artwork. Starting August 2nd, through September 16, 2013 the Heathman Lodge will become home to one of thirty locally hand-crafted fiberglass hearts. The hearts are part of PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center Foundation’s campaign to raise funds and awareness for heart disease, which remains the number one killer of men and women in the United States.
Each heart is sponsored by generous businesses and individuals, and placed for public display at various Southwest Washington locations. For six weeks, The Heathman Lodge and Hudson’s will proudly feature Heartichoke. Heartichoke was sponsored by the Fort Vancouver Convalescent Center, and will be located outside the main entrance to the hotel and restaurant. “It is truly an honor to host a HeArt at The Heathman Lodge, as a business we pride ourselves in our ability to support local artwork, having the opportunity to display Heartichoke not only fits in with our culture as a business but serves a great cause for our business partner PeaceHealth Southwest Washington Medical Center Foundation,” says Brett Wilkerson General Manager of The Heathman Lodge.
The Heartichoke was the vision of local artist Vicki Wilson and John Larsen, and was sculpted to embrace both the original heart shape while giving it a new association. The artichoke as a vegetable not only has “heart” in the literal sense, but the heart healthy benefits that the artichoke provides further supports the overall mission of “The Beat Goes On HeArts of Clark County”. This multi-week event allows the public to view the various works of art throughout Southwest Washington, and ends on September 21, 2013 with a Gala and Auction event at the PeaceHealth Shared Services Center.
