Hidden Treasures Found in Chicagoland Cemeteries | Photos and Stories Mary Ann McDermott, Professor Emerita Niehoff School of Nursing Loyola University Chicago.

Mary Ann has been interested in the Arts for many years. While at Loyola and during retirement she took student and alumni groups to Rome, Italy to explore the beauty of the Eternal City. She is also founder of Hektoen Nurses and Humanities sponsored by the Hektoen Institute of Medicine in Chicago. They explore the arts as a source of healing for the self and providing compassionate care to others with presentations at various locations. Last year she organized an exhibition “Nurses Relaxation and Renewal through the Arts” at the International Museum of Surgical Science in celebration of the 200th Birthday of Florence Nightingale that is now rescheduled for this Spring. During the pandemic when Museums and the lakefront were closed, Mary Ann and her husband decided to visit local cemeteries to explore the botanical, historical and cultural nature of these not too heavily frequented landscapes. What she learned from these explorations is the subject of her presentation.
