Arts in Medicine serves as a national and international model for hospital
based performing arts. Bringing dancers, musicians, actors and other
performance based artists into the hospital, these programs engage patients
and stimulate the environment of care in unexpected ways for the healthcare
staff. Each week, any area of the hospital and clinical setting is transformed
into a performance location - lobbies, waiting rooms, clinical hallways
and even patient rooms become the stage for artists to inspire and enthrall
patients, family members, visitors, and staff.
Examples of performance programs
AIM Together
