"...As patients engage in the creative process, I have seen them, time and again, gain meaning from misery, comfort from pain, and an insight that liberates them. Artists-in-Residence: The Creative Center's Approach to Arts in Healthcare provides a wonderful view of the transformative power of art and artists, and reinforces the importance of The Creative Center's work." - Joel T. Katz, MD, Director, Internal Medicine Residency, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School
