Healthcare design columnist Jane Rohde shares some personal stories about the power of peer support.
"...I realized with great enthusiasm that mentoring is not only for the young designer but for all ages as professionals grow and change in our healthcare design practices, creating spaces that not only promote healing but also encourage relaxation and calming of the mind that allows creativity to flow!"

A little rain never stopped anyone!
A few weeks ago, Ellicott City's Main Street held a closing celebration for the Main Street Matters campaign by Benjamin Moore. Historic Ellicott City Main Street was one of 20 contest winners across the U.S. and Canada (out of 840 total communities), that were repainted. There were 40 buildings on Main Street that received a fresh coat of paint, starting from Maryland Avenue to Old Columbia Pike. The "Welcome to Ellicott City" sign on the CSX railroad bridge and a railroad car at the B&O Museum were also repainted as well. A special thanks to Definition Painting Services, Inc. in Columbia, MD for painting our town!!
A Main Street replica made from cake!
Decorated with posters and balloons, Main Street hosted a community celebration for the Benjamin Moore: Main Street Matters campaign.
The color palate was carefully chosen to lend to the Historic nature of Main Street.
The crowd (and DJ) huddled under the tents and umbrellas. Several of the Main Street business owners and patrons of the Historic district came to celebrate despite the rain showers.
