Our Mission
Art with a Heart in Healthcare provides
personalized fine art experiences that
enhance the healing process
for patients and their families.
Our Story
Since our founding in 2001 by cousins Lori Guadagno and Lisa Landwirth Ullmann, Art with a Heart in Healthcare has served thousands of patients and their families at Wolfson Children's Hospital and Nemours Children's Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida.
As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we are
dedicated to enhancing the healing process of
sick children. Six days a week our talented team of staff artists, community volunteers and interns from the University of North Florida develop sessions individualized to meet the needs of patients and families at bedside or in groups. Together we create art that helps to reclaim the child from the illness.
What differentiates us is an emphasis on personal expression from a fine art perspective. Art expression helps humanize the high-tech atmosphere of the clinical settings while diminishing fear, pain, boredom and depression associated with hospitalization. Art can empower a child in an otherwise powerless situation.
