Through a collaboration with El Paso Children’s Hospital Foundation and generous community partners, we are pleased to present art displays throughout the community consisting of artwork created by pediatric oncology patients at El Paso Children’s Hospital.  The mission of the Therapeutic Arts program is to provide patients and their families with the opportunity for self-expression, empowerment, and healing moments through the arts.  Art is particularly helpful to relieve stress in children who are undergoing chemotherapy treatment or transfusions for chronic illness or blood disorders.  Creativity can be a vital resource in helping patients to cope with an acute illness. Art and healthcare go hand-in-hand as art enhances the healing environment and overall treatment experience.
