Arts in Medicine

The primary goal of the Arts In Medicine (AIM) Program of the Texas Children’s Cancer Center and Hematology Service is to provide enjoyable, educational and meaningful artistic opportunities to patients and their families. These activities will provide opportunities for self-expression, empowerment and development of coping skills. The key components of the AIM Program are art education, guest and performing artist series and outreach on a local, regional and national basis. Art opportunities will be provided in a variety of settings in order to best meet the needs of the children and their families. The healing environment and treatment team will be enhanced when music is created, dance performed, plays produced, stories told and spaces decorated with visual arts by and for children.

In association with Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children’s Hospital, the AIM Program is an integral part of the Texas Children’s Cancer Center and Hematology Service’s goal of providing comprehensive care in a child-centered environment.
