Kimball Starr Changes Lives at Women’s Cancer Ward in El Salvador
Together with 40 enthusiastic volunteers, San Francisco Bay Area decorator Kimball Starr recently utilized key design elements of paint color, wall stencils, and nature imagery to create a peaceful, soothing environment for women undergoing chemotherapy treatments at the National Maternity Hospital in San Salvador, El Salvador.
The oncology ward remodel—which required extensive structural repairs to crumbling walls and floors—was sponsored by the non-profit organization Basic Health International (BHI), along with generous support from local supporters, foundations, and private businesses.
