Hearts: Health & Arts

HEARTS was created in 2017 to bring expressive arts to communities by connecting to the field of Health Humanities, also known as Healthcare and the Arts or Medicine and the Arts. Health Humanities is a growing field with an ever-expanding body of research into how the arts and all the humanities contribute to health and well-being. Health Humanities is not limited to healthcare institutions and practices but rather extends into all of society. This field examines how arts, language, literature, and philosophy interact with and influence humanity to promote a “culture of health.”
