Arts in health initiatives

Arts in health initiatives integrate creative activities such as music, visual arts, dance, and storytelling into healthcare settings to support patients’ well-being. These programs aim to reduce stress, alleviate pain, improve mood, and promote emotional healing. They can enhance the hospital experience, foster social connection, and support mental health for patients, families, and staff. By using artistic expression as a therapeutic tool, arts in health initiatives complement medical treatment, creating a holistic approach that nurtures both body and mind.
