Can a grieving widow and a stroke of a paintbrush be catalyst for change? Regina Holliday was a wife, mother, painter, art teacher and clerk at a local toy shop in Washington, DC. But when her beloved husband Fred was diagnosed with stage four kidney cancer, she added one more title: patient advocate. Five days after Fred's death, Regina picked up her paint brushes and began creating a 50 foot public mural detailing Fred's health care nightmare. It was titled '73 Cents' for the price per page to obtain Fred's medical record. It was a symbol for the injustices they faced and cost to patients who lack access to their own medical records, for which Regina believes Fred paid the ultimate price.
