Central Louisiana Arts & Healthcare, Inc.

Welcome to Central Louisiana Arts & Healthcare

The mission of Central Louisiana Arts & Healthcare is to provide innovative arts programming in healthcare settings to promote healing for patients, respite for family members and stress relief for medical personnel.

Our major goals are to increase overall patient and staff satisfaction through arts-based stress relief, provide patients with arts experiences that assist with the healing process, and create a warmer, uplifting and welcoming hospital environment.

In this poor economy, funds to our organization have been drastically cut. We urgently need your help to continue our work with healing arts in hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, nursing homes and palliative care facilities.
