Penn State Hershey Doctors Kienle Center for Humanistic Medicine and Center Stage Arts in Health

The Doctors Kienle Center for Humanistic Medicine cultivates empathy and compassion in healthcare. A team of staff and volunteers strive to create an environment that integrates the healing power of art, music and creativity at Penn State Health in Hershey, Pa. In an effort to nourish well-being through the arts, programs are hosted through the College of Medicine Humanities Department’s “Center Stage.”

“With the help of organizations like NOAH, we are seeing a convergence of the arts and healthcare across the nation. We are committed to harnessing this energy and cultivating it through Kienle and Center Stage,” says Director Claire de Boer.

Over the past decade, programs have ignited a number of arts-based initiatives, some of which have spurred research projects to investigate and quantify the impact of the arts. At Penn State Health, professional musicians play cheerful and reflective music in clinical and family areas. Vetted pianists perform soothing and uplifting melodies in lobbies and waiting areas. Summer lunchtime concerts in an outdoor courtyard feature local professional ensembles including jazz and classical music.  Center Stage staff visits patients when they are admitted to the hospital. Patients have the opportunity to view a portfolio of work by regional artists and choose artwork that hangs in their room. Center Stage also has an artist on staff to create mural paintings throughout the hospital.

A Public Art Committee commissions art designed to enhance and inspire the whole community. Community art organizations display their work through rotating art exhibits. Employees and students have opportunities to share art in a gallery or on the performance stage. They also attend guided tours of a superb art museum, dinner concerts in a hospital lecture hall, and art-making workshops taught by professional artists.

Penn State Health’s support aims to establish a tangible connection between humanities and medicine.

Kentucky Center FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS

The Arts in Healing program of The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts has been bringing the power of the arts into places of healing since 2009. Engaging in the creative process in institutional settings provides a space for emotional expression, self-discovery, inspiration, play, and connection when it is needed most. Our roster of carefully selected, trained, and supported artists serve patients, families, and staff including: adults healing from substance abuse, movement disorders, the wounds of war, and cancer; children recovering from physical and emotional abuse; seniors embracing the end of life; and families dealing with homelessness.

Though not therapy, medical staff frequently report their work is more productive following Arts in Healing workshops.  Short and Long-term outcomes include arts engagement being a contributing factor in maintaining sobriety, continued exploration of creativity following Arts in Healing program participation, and reconnecting with family members from institutional settings with handmade gifts and new experiences to share.

Drawing on the wisdom of indigenous cultures and creative self-expression, deep relationships have developed between local Veterans, our artists, and civilian community members through Warrior’s Heart Community, one of our hallmark programs.  Through it, we learn to communicate effectively, joining together to build a pathway forward.
