The Healing Powers of Art and Music

Artwork by Robert Crowe

Leonardo da Vinci once said we should "realize that everything connects to everything else." At MeritCare, we're connecting the science of medical care to the healing powers of art and music.

Original paintings and photographs by local artists grace the lobby walls, their sculptures welcome patients and visitors at our new main entrance and their murals accompany you on your walk through the lower-level tunnel.

Artistic interpretations of the heart of healing by MeritCare Heart Center employees fill shadow boxes displayed near the Day Unit. And a grand piano played by local musicians, music students, as well as patients, family members and staff will fill the new lobby with the healing power of music.
