Arts in Medicine

The public health care system’s first mural created through systemwide collaboration represents its shared mission to address violence and heal impacted communities

Ode (2025) by Austin Lee is on loan to the hospital, where it will be viewable to the hospital’s thousands of staff, patients, and visitors for the next year

Supported by the Arts in Medicine department, the program is available to patients and staff at Elmhurst Hospital expecting a child or with young children

The free concerts are available to the public as well as patients and staff in and around the city's public hospitals

The Community Mural Project is believed to be the largest program of its kind in the country
