USC-VHH offers a healing arts program that uses the power of art to promote healing in our patients. Based on multiple studies that show a connection between engaging with the creative arts and health, we encourage patients to participate in a number of art-based options.

The program includes rotating and permanent art exhibits by local artists, a mobile Art Cart that allows patients to take home a framed print of their choosing, a digitized Healing Arts Stories iPad program and clinical art therapy that promotes healing through pain management, stress reduction and adjustment to hospitalization, as well as rehabilitation for stroke survivors.
