Art Meets Medicine
A cancer diagnosis and treatment process are often accompanied by a tremendous amount of stress. To combat this, Orlando Health Cancer Institute offers various Integrative Medicine programs that provide healing services to complement patients’ medical treatments — focused on their physical, emotional and social health.
For nearly 30 years, artists have connected with Orlando Health cancer patients through the Arts in Medicine program. Through painting, writing and other mediums, patients can take their minds off treatment and focus on the act of creating. For many, this has transformed the way they see their diagnosis, their treatments and themselves.
A division of the Oncology Integrative Medicine department, the Arts in Medicine program provides materials, time and the expertise of an artist-in-residence, plus volunteers and art interns. Thanks to generous donations, this program is offered at no cost to oncology patients and caregivers.
"Mind, Body and Color" — 13 Years of Collaboration with CityArts and Arts in Medicine
This year’s theme, "Mind, Body and Color," highlights the Arts in Medicine's holistic approach to care with images relating to the mind - body connection. Movement, courage, and hope are evoked when witnessing the fortitude of individuals who choose the joy of creation over the fear of uncertainty.
Join us in celebrating the courage, creativity and transformation of those on a path to healing at this beautiful exhibit from May 21 through June 13.
