UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK/RÉSEAU UNIVERSITAIRE DE SANTÉ

University Health Network operates a patient arts program that integrates visual art, music, and performance into hospital environments across Toronto. The program provides patients, families, and staff access to creative experiences and installations within UHN facilities, including galleries, live performances, and art-making workshops. By bringing cultural programming into healthcare settings, UHN recognizes that engagement with the arts can support emotional well-being and create more humane hospital experiences. The organization partners with local artists and cultural organizations to develop exhibitions and events that reflect community interests and enhance the physical spaces where care happens. UHN's approach combines professional art curation with accessibility, ensuring that people receiving treatment have opportunities to encounter creativity during vulnerable moments in their lives.
