3 The arts enhance the healing environment, but they also invite people to visit the hospital when they are well. If patients and families are familiar with the hospital, they will feel more comfortable in a time of need.

Carolyn Hisel Florida Musician (detail) courtesy of B. Deemer Gallery the healing power of art The visual, literary and performing arts have existed in western and eastern health care systems since the beginning of recorded history. A growing body of research, both qualitative and quantitative, indicates that the arts serve patients and caregivers as powerful aids in times of emotional vulnerability and bring beauty into a stress-filled, health care world. The arts touch spirits that seek solace and encouragement. Pam Folsom Karen Heyl Watch the Corn Pop Up in Rows (detail) Water - Source of Life (detail) courtesy of B.

Every visitor will find art that is accessible; that resonates with their individuality or opens the door to experiencing art for the first time.

7 The increasing interest in arts in health care is a manifestation of a global acceptance of the movement. Arts in health care are complements to medical science rather than substitutes. The creative arts help people reclaim power over their lives and their health. Dr. John Graham-Pole Restoring lives, restoring selves: The arts and healing. International Journal of Arts Medicine

10 At the deepest level, the creative process and the healing process arise from a single source. When you are an artist, you are a healer; a wordless trust of the same mystery is the foundation of your work and its integrity. Rachel Naomi Remen, MD Author of My Grandfather s Blessings and Kitchen Table Wisdom: Stories That Heal
