It%u2019s no wonder that many physicians have various creative outlets outside of practicing medicine but rarely get to showcase those talents. The Arts of Healing focuses on the artistic side of healing by partnering with various local charities to bring light into the lives of patients suffering from chronic illnesses. Since 2017, The Arts of Healing has been showcasing artistic pieces and performances by physicians and hospitals through various events, raising over $400,000 in proceeds that have been donated to local charities. Most recently, The Arts of Healing has partnered with the Sunshine Kids Foundation %u2013 an organization dedicated to children with cancer. Last month, The Arts of Healing hosted its fifth annual Women in Medicine Fashion Show, showcasing 18 inspirational women in the field of medicine.
