Social Impact Statement
We are living in a time of tremendous transition with great demands on systems to help all people thrive; there is a need for solutions that address community well-being in new and creative ways.
The Center’s purpose is to help individuals and communities thrive with thorough integration of the arts and humanities into all manners of public health interventions, not as enhancements or enrichments, but as essential elements of well-being.
