Doctors heal your body and your mind...the arts heal your soul

Our Arts & Healthcare Initiative began at Rapides Regional Medical Center in September, 2003. Since then, we have implemented many programs serving patients, their families and staff.   Our current activities feature a performing arts series with various musicians and dancers sponsored by a grant from the Martin Foundation.  We have musicians, poets and artists who make weekly visits to patients at the bedside.  We provide art activities in the Cancer Center and on the Pediatric floor.

During the month of November, we will feature the art of local artist, Mike Yoist in the new South Tower Art Gallery.


We invite you to visit the lobby of the RRMC Cancer Center to view art by local artist, Walter Smith during the month of November.
