Bellin Express Expressive Arts in Medicine ( B.E.A.M. ), will strive to use the many forms of art as an avenue for transforming the healthcare experience. Our hope, through this program, is to promote the value of the arts in healthcare. The proven therapeutic benefits that are a part of so many areas in arts help many to ease the pain, add joy and raise hope. We are currently seeking volunteers to assist with various art projects at the Team Cancer Center located at 1580 Commanche Ave. Craft activities are provided for volunteers to offer to patients as they receive treatment or assist with assembling make and take art kits. No artistic talent necessary.
If you play an instrument and are interested in helping to bring comfort to patients seeking treatment, we would love to hear from you as well
