- Providing opportunities for the well-being of all who visit or work at the Medical Center to enjoy, be inspired by, and participate in the arts;
- Encouraging and facilitating exposure to the healing power of the creative arts for those who are ill as well as all those who care for the ill;
- Supporting translational research which explores the mechanisms, the benefits, and the role of the arts in health, healing and well-being; and
- Embracing collaboration among interested artists within and outside the organization
