Gifts to Arts in Medicine contribute to...
Since 2013 UAB Arts in Medicine (AIM), a partnership between UAB Visual and Performing Arts and UAB Medicine, has served over 185,000 people. UAB AIM brings an integrated approach to the healing process that addresses the needs of the whole person - mind, body, and spirit. AIM strives to enhance wellness in the healthcare setting through creative arts experiences for patients, families, and healthcare staff. AIM also works in community settings to support adults and children living with disabilities, chronic conditions and mental health disorders, and support healthy aging in older adults. AIM is part of the field of arts and health that acknowledges the arts’ critical role in human well-being. AIM works closely with UAB departments including the School of Health Professions Department of Occupational Therapy (OT) to study the impact of its programs and add to the growing evidence base.
Your gift will directly impact patients, families, healthcare staff and community members in need of these services. With your help, we can continue to provide critical arts and health programs across UAB Hospital, Children's of Alabama, St. Vincent's East and beyond.
