Since our founding in 2001 by cousins Lori Guadagno and Lisa Landwirth Ullmann, Art with a Heart in Healthcare has served thousands of patients and their families at several locations in Jacksonville, FL including Wolfson Children's Hospital, Nemours Children's Clinic, Baptist Medical Center, Mayo Clinic, and Mayo Clinic Cancer Center at St. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we rely on the g
enerosity of others to support our mission. Six days a week, our talented team of staff artists, community volunteers and interns from the University of North Florida develop sessions individualized to meet the needs of patients and families at bedside or in groups. What differentiates us is an emphasis on personal expression from a fine art perspective. We believe that creativity is fundamental to the human experience and that artistic expression promotes physical health and well-being that leads to improved patient outcomes. Art expression helps humanize the high-tech atmosphere of the clinical settings while diminishing fear, pain, boredom and depression associated with hospitalization. Art can empower a patient in an otherwise powerless situation.
