Great point - I've long appreciated the use of art, particularly the display of art produced by medical school faculty and students, at the Farrell Learning and Teaching Center. This, in addition to the public sculpture and art in patient rooms, makes for a more visually interesting environment that promotes healing and growth. I just returned from visiting Vanderbilt University's Medical Center in Nashville, Texas, and they are another great example of the emphasis the medical center is placing on art and environment on patients, public, and community groups. Their children's hospital is a great example of taking aesthetics into consideration seriously when designing for the best possible facility in which to provide patient care and includes thoughtfully-installed, locally-produced art work indoors and a very touching healing garden outdoors. They also have used a satellite facility, 100 Oaks, to present artwork created by community groups with whom they are working. Thanks, Tony!
