Our Mission: Creating a healing atmosphere

The purpose of art in the hospital setting goes far beyond decoration. Recent studies show a direct link between art and the brain’s reaction to pain, stress and anxiety. A 2011 University of London study found that blood flow increased 10 percent to the “joy response” part of the brain when subjects saw a beautiful painting. The Arts at Erlanger program seeks to preserve and expand the healing, uplifting, and therapeutic art at all campuses in our medical system.

Our goals are to:

• Create a healing atmosphere for patients and their guests at all Erlanger facilities.
• Enhance the spaces at our campuses with artwork from talented regional artists.
• Explore and introduce new art forms to complement the healing work of Erlanger.
• Archive, update, and preserve our inventory of existing and new artwork within the Erlanger Health System.
