Healing Through the Arts
Every day hundreds of people embark on healthcare journeys at Michigan Medicine with the help of Arts in Health. From live therapeutic music to art kits delivered to patient rooms, art can be the beginning of healing for patients and their loved ones.
Our medical center may surprise you with its natural light, gardens, color, design, and music. Discover more of what we have to offer below.
My healing began the day you entered my room.
Visiting over 8,000 patients a year, live therapeutic music at the bedside can help to relieve pain, help you fall asleep, celebrate good news, provide joy with beloved tunes, or companionship during challenging moments.
This hospital has it all!
Arts projects are a welcome diversion while in the hospital. With time away from ordinary life, you can explore your creative side.
- Our house-made art kits include everything you need to make simple, yet special masterpieces. Over 5,000 a year are shared with people like you.
- To date we have provided over 200,000 original art coloring books to members of the Michigan Medicine community on local themes. It's a joy to see you transform pages with color and pattern.
- In an average year, 1,000s of inpatients choose the art that they look at in their room during their stay from a catalogue of Art Cart Posters.
