Rotating and permanent exhibits by local artists throughout USC Verdugo Hills Hospital (USC-VHH), including patient treatment areas, are curated to create an uplifting and hopeful environment for our patients, their families, hospital staff, and the community at large. Healing Arts Exhibits feature local artists, highlight the beauty of our local environs, and support community partnerships.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Multiple studies have found a connection between engagement with the creative arts and health. Evidence indicates art-based interventions are effective in reducing adverse physiological and psychological outcomes.
