Art with a Heart in Healthcare
is a nonprofit organization that provides professionally guided personalized art experiences that enhance the healing process and bring comfort, joy and hope to patients and families in crisis. Our unique free choice arts programs empower patients and families as they embark on their healing journeys.
Five days a week our talented team of staff artists, community volunteers and University of North Florida interns create sessions individualized to meet the needs of patients and families at bedside and in groups. Since our founding in 2001 by cousins Lori Guadagno and Lisa Landwirth Ussery, Art with a Heart in Healthcare has served over 20,000 children and their families in Wolfson Children's Hospital and Nemours Children's Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida.
