Programs
How the arts support the largest public hospital workforce in the United States.
The Arts in Medicine department is dedicated to supporting the well-being of our healthcare staff by offering programs designed to address burnout and rekindle their sense of purpose. These initiatives aim to provide meaningful moments of respite from the demands of the workplace, inspire joy, and cultivate a sense of community and connection among colleagues. By nurturing creativity and emotional resilience, we help healthcare professionals reconnect to the core values that led them to pursue a career in care.
Current Programs include:
Pilot to Program Pipeline
Our pilot-to-program pipeline is designed to take innovative arts in medicine initiatives from initial testing and refinement through to fully integrated, sustainable program offerings. This process ensures that each program is thoughtfully developed, rigorously evaluated, and ready to make a lasting impact within our healthcare settings.
In collaboration with the Yale School of Public Health, we are developing robust evaluation frameworks to assess the impact of our pilot programs. This partnership allows us to apply evidence-based methodologies to ensure that our initiatives are not only innovative but also measurable and effective. By integrating rigorous evaluation processes from the pilot stage, we are able to refine and optimize our programs, ensuring they meet both the needs of patients and staff while contributing to the overall goal of addressing burnout among our staff and enhancing healthcare through the arts systemwide.
