Arts in Medicine

Arts in Medicine strives to utilize dance, music, and the visual arts to enhance the well-being of specific patient populations in Tallahassee. Volunteer opportunities are available to graduate students associated with the Florida State University. Along with supporting the Tallahassee community, AIM aspires to educate future healthcare professionals and leaders on the power of arts in clinical practice. Aging-related programs include: Dance in Medicine, which uses dance as a tool to enhance the wellbeing of patients with Parkinson’s in the community; Music in Medicine, which uses research-based methods to reduce anxiety in people of all ages and improve memory in older adults; and Visual Arts in Medicine, which provides research-based methods that promote creativity, strengthen social connections, and enhance wellbeing.
