Polk Arts and Health Collaborative
Polk Arts and Health Collaborative is an innovative initiative spearheaded by the
Watson Clinic Foundation's Arts in Medicine program to formalize collaboration among arts and healthcare organizations throughout Polk County. Recognizing the powerful role of the arts in enhancing well-being, this consortium serves as a hub for education, advocacy, and program development.
Our mission is to elevate the entire community by integrating the arts into healthcare settings and wellness programs. Through partnerships with local organizations, we aim to improve patient outcomes, reduce stress for healthcare workers, and promote community-wide health benefits.
As a member of the consortium, organizations have access to shared resources, professional development opportunities, and the chance to collaborate on transformative projects like Arts in Health Week and the Legacy Lane Project. Together, we are redefining health and wellness through the arts, one program at a time.
