Arts in Healthcare Seen Yielding Benefits
According to a new study by the
Society for the Arts in Healthcare, Americans for the Arts, The Joint Commission
and the University of Florida Center for the Arts in Healthcare documents that
incorporating the arts into health-care settings has multiple benefits for
patients and may reduce health-care expenses. Up to half of health-care
institutions in the U.S. incorporate arts programming into their care. Benefits
from arts programming include shorter hospital stays, less need for medication,
and a boost for job satisfaction and employee retention. Philanthropy
