A local couple has donated a print of an original painting entitled, "The Hands" to The Wound Center. The painting was done by their son-in-law.

Bill Wilson, of the Boyertown area, wound up in the Emergency Department of Pottstown Memorial Hospital on Christmas Eve with a serious foot wound. He was put in touch with The Wound Center, and received 40 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy treatments, vastly improving his wound. Bill is receiving follow up care in the Foot and Ankle Clinic at St. Joe’s.

Ruby, Bill’s wife, said, "Everyone has been so nice, and we appreciate them so much. We wanted to do something for them, and realized the painting would be a nice gesture."

“The painting is so appropriate for The Wound Center,” said Lesley Noble, Hyperbaric Unit. "We work very closely with our patients to help them achieve a higher quality of life."

Their son-in-law, Robert Nailon, painted the original picture. Robert was homeschooled, and received his artistic training from his mother, also an artist. He is currently working with an ad agency in California. Robert and the Wilson’s daughter, Elisha-ba, live in Monrovia, California, with their two year old daughter, Simone.
