Cancer survivor makes donation for new art installation at Woman’s Hospital

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - Woman’s Hospital unveiled a new art installation in the main lobby of the hospital made possible thanks to a generous donation from a local cancer survivor.

The installation, called “In Flight,” was created and installed by local artist, Brad Bourgoyne, and includes dozens of large cranes that soar above patrons as they visit the hospital.

The installation is the result of a donation made by the Fife family, who have been lifelong supporters of the hospitals.

Rose Marie Fife, a breast cancer survivor herself, is an avid volunteer at the hospital, serving as a NICU Cuddler, member of the Woman’s Auxiliary and Foundation Board, along with having served as the BUST Breast Cancer Committee Chair for the past two years.
