THE MATER ARTS IN MEDICINE PROGRAM
Established through the AIM for Africa Cultural Exchange project in 2006 and modeled after the Shands Arts in Medicine program at the University of Florida, the Mater Arts in Medicine program brings the arts to patients, caregivers, and the Nairobi community. Mater’s CEO, Medical Director, and Arts in Medicine Coordinator work together with Artist in Residence and a host of volunteer artists and performers to enhance the medical experience of patients and caregivers through music, dance, the visual arts, writing, and theatre.
