Program on Arts, Humanities & Medicine

Healing Words: Poetry & Medicine, a film by Dr. David Watts, Joan Baranow, Vicki Chabin, Jamie Cavenaugh and David Drewry, is a testament to how arts are necessary and integral to create and sustain a healing environment in a hospital setting. The documentary will be broadcast on PBS station KQED Sunday August 24, 2008 at 6 p.m. Pacific Time.

Joanna Wrede, one of our BEMH graduates, is featured in the Medical Center Report.
Congratulations Joanna!
