This story originally appeared in the Summer 2024 edition of Promise magazine. The online story was updated in December 2024 to reflect changes in the leadership of the Summa Health Healing Arts Program.
Summa Health’s Healing Arts Program continued another year of artistic expression and therapeutic innovation, offering a symphony of sights and sounds to soothe the soul. The program is a testament to the transformative power of art in healthcare settings.
The Healing Arts Leadership Council, composed of strategic advisors and community ambassadors, plays an important role in orchestrating these musical encounters by collaborating with local arts organizations.
The musical journey over the past year included festive holiday concerts, thanks to the coordination of Paul Jarrett, a Healing Arts Music Committee member and the executive director of the Akron Symphony Orchestra. The series delivered joy and solace to many during the holiday season.
