b'How art can help heal a communityThere is all sorts of data on the role of art in healing. Art has the ability to draw people together and to heal emotionally. Art can help us express a communitys hurts, our joys, our deepest feelings. At Cone Health, we know it is important for those feel-ings and needs to be expressed because, unexpressed, they can create all kinds of health problems. Weve placed an extensive collection of art strategically throughout all of our spaces. Being able to do that in public spaces creates a way for the community to gather and experience something together thats positive. Shared community is always a healthy experience.Mary Jo Cagle, MDCHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERThe MedCenter for Women wasKoury family philanthropyAs a family with many women, we designed with a positive patientlifts up women forshare a special sisterhood bond, experience in mind: the flow of thegenerations to come a common understanding of our building, large windows and carefullychallenges, of our responsibilities and considered paint colors.
