Innovations in Arts and Health: A Field Guide to Local Collaborations Between Healthcare, Academia, and Community Organizations

This book parades the authors' passion for wedding these two worlds of medicine and the arts in and across medical education, community-based nonprofits, hospitals, and other spaces. Bearing the subtitle, “A Field Guide to Local Collaborations between Healthcare, Academia, and Community Organizations,” this book’s emphasis is on the between. For that reason, its chapters are not easily clustered under subheadings like “Arts and Health in Healthcare” or “Arts and Health in Academia.” Instead, almost every chapter showcases the strong links an institution from one sphere forges with “outsiders,” leading to something new that interweaves us and them.
