Jeff Lee writes on his blog:

The theme for 2015 was “Roosevelt Island: Celebrating Our Past and Our Future” The image of the nurse is based on a photo of a nursing student from “Roosevelt Island (Images of America)” by Judith Berdy but I replaced her face with my grandmother’s from the 1940’s.

In the same way that a place can be haunted by past sins and wrongdoing, it can also be “haunted” by the good things in its past. In Roosevelt Island’s case, this refers to the hours of care and support given by nurses, doctors, and other caregivers over the years….
