The Joy of Art! Program
Art is an important factor in rebuilding lives. It creates an inviting and calming environment that is therapeutic for patients, staff and visitors. Patients get the opportunity to express their emotions through creativity, stimulate their mind and feel joy during their hospital stay. The Joy of Art! program hosts exhibitions throughout the year and supports art groups and activities that helps patients feel engaged with the community. Art is integrated into patient care, providing holistic patient-centered healing.
