Grant sponsors project

Lowcountry artist Marv Pontiff puts the finishing touches on a new wellness mural located on the second floor of the President Street Garage (PGII) stairwell (Bee Street side). The effort is part of the StairWELL Project, which was funded by a grant from the Eat Smart Move More South Carolina Coalition and implemented by MUSC's Health 1st Employee Wellness Program. Pontiff and Jordan Petri painted murals on each floor of the garage, which was supported by the grant. The coalition’s goal is to tackle obesity throughout the state by promoting more healthy, lifestyles through healthy eating and active living.
