Creating Care: Art and Medicine in US Hospitals is an ethnographic study of the creative, expressive, and art-making activities occurring in hospitals across the United States. Marlaine Figueroa Gray explores how art programming intersects with medical care in US hospitals, sharing the insights of those who facilitate, participate, and support these creative activities as well as the objectives, values, and functions of these offerings. Figueroa Gray illustrates how hospital creative arts programs model care that includes both those in need of healing and those who heal.
