website. Our program was conceived simultaneously with the design and planning for Pavilion A, the newest patient care facility at UK Chandler Hospital. In the ten years since the opening of Pavilion A in 2011, the support and response to our program has been overwhelmingly positive and validating. We constantly receive feedback in regards to the positive and healing presence of our visual and performing arts programming. Believe it or not, some people even come to our hospital just to see the art!</p> <p>An ever-expanding body of research continues to support and demonstrate the importance of the arts with regards to human health and well-being. Our program's success affirms our belief that our efforts do have a positive impact on our patients, families, staff, physicians, students and visitors. Increasing data regarding the positive impact of the arts on patient stress, pain, length of stay, outcomes and more, are all good signs that we are committed to the right track.</p> <p>As the UK Arts in HealthCare program continues to mature and grow, we remain committed to expanding and enhancing the ways in which we deliver the arts in a healthcare setting. </p> <p>As always, we look to philanthropy to support our work. If you have an interest in volunteering, providing financial support or assisting in furthering the program in any way, please contact us. We also value any and all feedback, comments and ideas.</p> <blockquote> <p>"Art is not, as the meta-physicians say, the manifestation of some mysterious idea of beauty or God; it is not, as the aesthetical physiologists say, a game in which man lets off his excess of stored energy; it is not the expression of man's emotions by external signs; it is not the production of pleasing objects; and, above all, it is not pleasure; but it is a means of union among men, joining them together in the the same feelings, and indispensable for the life and progress toward the well-being of individuals and of humanity."</p> <p>- Leo Tolstoy </p> </blockquote> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ukhc-section paragraph paragraph--type--page-section paragraph--view-mode--default" id="section-46696"> <button class="collapse-header" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapse-109926" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse-109926" > <div class="field field--name-field-headline field--type-string field--label-hidden field--paragraph--field-headline field__item">Mission</div> <i class="fas fa-angle-down"></i> </button> <div id="collapse-109926" class="collapse collapse--mobile" > <div class="collapse__inner"> <h2> <div class="field field--name-field-headline field--type-string field--label-hidden field--paragraph--field-headline field__item">Mission</div> </h2> <div class="field field--name-field-components field--type-entity-reference-revisions field--label-hidden field--paragraph--field-components field__items"> <div class="field__item"> <div class="paragraph__component--html-content"> <div class="html-content__content"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-html field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--paragraph--field-html field__item"><body><blockquote> <p>“Our mission is to create an environment of care and to focus on the spiritual, emotional and physical well-being of our patients, families, caregivers and staff.

As proponents of the field of arts in health, artists are able to share valuable insights that help us to understand why the arts can have such a strong impact on our health. Several videos of prominent artists, commissioned to create major works for our facilities, were filmed to document the creative process. These artists shared valuable insights about their work and the ability to contribute to the healthcare environment.

Chandler Hospital. As a result, the art is integrated with the design of the building. This unusual circumstance and the program’s deliberate outreach to campus, community and regional art partners has garnered much recognition and acclaim.</p> <p><strong>Governor's Awards in the Arts:</strong> The UK Arts in HealthCare Program was awarded the 2012 Business Award for the Arts. This is the commonwealth of Kentucky’s highest honor in the arts. The Governor’s Award recognizes organizations that have made extraordinary and significant contributions to the arts in Kentucky. The Kentucky Arts Council coordinates the nomination process for these awards.</p> <p><strong>Medi-Star Awards:</strong> The UK Arts in HealthCare Program was awarded the 2013 Consumer First Award which honors an organization that has demonstrated the most consumer-friendly program or facility. This award was selected by the community.</p> <p><strong>Design & Health International Academy Awards:</strong> AECOM, lead architects on the new pavilion at the UK Albert B. Chandler Hospital, submitted on behalf of the UK Arts in HealthCare program to the 2013 Design & Health International Academy Awards. Guests from all over the world attended the prestigious Design & Health International Academy Awards 2013 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre in Brisbane, Australia, on July 13, 2013, held during the 9th Design & Health World Congress & Exhibition.</p> <p>After receiving almost 100 submissions across 10 different categories in key areas of global health care delivery, judging panels from across the globe made their recommendations for this year’s winners. The University of Kentucky Albert B.
