Bringing Serenity and Healing Through Art

September 12, 2023

Mercy Research recently received a donation of photographs from The Foundation for Photo/Art in Hospitals. The photographs will be hung in 11 Mercy Research offices across Mercy. Photographer Elaine Poggi created the foundation after witnessing the healing impact of art in her mother’s hospital room during a battle with cancer. Its mission is to foster healing environments in health care settings through soothing nature photographs.

"This initiative aligns with Mercy’s dedication to patient-centered care and enhances the well-being of both our patients and co-workers. It's an exciting step towards using art as a tool for healing and fostering a positive atmosphere."
