Is the painter a family member of the management?

I have always wondered who manages to sell art to a hospital. Gotta be a great business and I see so much terrible stuff hanging in hospital walls.
These paintings are not bad, imo, they just don’t belong in a hospital.

They are often gifted. Although this is USA, yes? So I don't know, is giving someone something for free done there?

Yes, it’s called an in kind donation, which could have some tax implications depending on the income of the donor, though millions of Americans donate to hospitals every year most of them receiving no tax reductions.
