Bayside Academy Students Present USA Family Medicine Clinic with Artwork

Students at Bayside Academy in Daphne recently presented the University of South Alabama Family Medicine clinic with a piece of Andy Warhol art, titled “Maurice.”

One of the patients at the clinic, who is also a teacher at Bayside Academy, saw the need for more artwork in the clinic areas. As a result, she encouraged her class to raise money for the good cause.

“I am overwhelmed by the students and their generosity they have shown to our clinic,” said Dr. Allen Perkins, chair of family medicine at USA. “The visual aspect is just as important as everything else, and the artwork is a great contribution to our patients’ well-being.”

Bayside Academy’s donation is part of an ongoing service project, and the students will continue to raise money to provide the clinic with additional artwork.
