Finally, an organization dedicated to helping the healthcare community without use of drugs or high priced technology. I am impressed. Keep up the good work.

Great Article, I hope you publish more. There are many states where "Arts in Medicine" programs have proven their worth in holistic healing. Creativity is an excellent form of heathcare.

is this the same group that is sponsoring a Patch Adams? Sounds like a wonderful new organization - I wish you the best in bringing healing and kindness back to healthcare. Maybe someone should forward this to IHC - they might want to pay attention to this idea.
