Blount Memorial Hospital in Maryville, Tennessee, is the latest hospital to partner with UT’s College of Nursing to provide the Precious Prints Project to families who have lost a child. The student-led project is a partnership with Grant Barton, owner and artist of Precious Metal Prints, and provides area hospitals free silver fingerprint charms to give to grieving families. Since its creation in 2011, the project has provided the special keepsakes to 450 families.
