title: Creative arts for hospitals: the UCLA experiment.
abstract: Art That Heals developed five programs at the UCLA Medical Center/Cancer Center which used arts interventions to reduce stress and facilitate coping with hospitalization. These experiences were well received by patients and nursing staff. Educational modules were developed so that others may learn from these program models. Constructive ideas based on the seven years of operation are cited.
