With all that\u2019s going on in the world, people could use a little more beauty, a reason to smile, a glimmer of hope \u2013 and that\u2019s what one hospital employee offered to everyone in the lobby of the University of Utah Health<\/a> hospital.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Many hospitals are full of patients, but suffering from a lack of staff. The healthcare workers that do show up are often burnt out and tired from the past year and a half.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite that, many show up and give it their all anyway, and that\u2019s what phlebotomist Teva Martinson did.<\/span><\/p>\n

He works drawing blood for the University of Utah Health hosptial, but he has other passions on the side, such as ballet.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

On August 31, 2021, Martinson combined his hospital career and his passion for ballet into one beautiful moment when he performed to Ballade Pour Adeline being played on the lobby piano.<\/span><\/p>\n
