What does it take to move the visual arts in medicine from “nice to have” to “need to have”? Brooke DiGiovanni Evans, co-founder of the Center for Visual Arts in Healthcare at Brigham & Women’s Hospital, has been answering that question through decades of work at the intersection of art, education, and healthcare.
A passionate educator and arts leader, Brooke teaches at Harvard Medical School and other institutions, helping future clinicians recognize and measure the impact of the visual arts in medical education. With deep roots in museum education and years of experience designing programs for medical practitioners, she brings a transformative perspective on how art can reshape care.
