The current display in our Behavioral Health Outpatient waiting area features an amazing quilter, Kay Price-Lee. Kay began sewing when she was only 8 years old.

Two beautiful quilts made by Kay will be up until the end of September in our BH waiting area. Stop by and see them if you are visiting the Tamarack Health Ashland Medical Center campus.
