The summit features invited speakers and workshop hosts with expertise in integrating the arts and humanities into the practice of healthcare, health care education and community engagement. The goal of the project is to provide opportunities for individuals and organizations to learn about and engage with creative ways to communicate about health and healthcare and increase wellness through visual arts, comics (graphic medicine), and personal narratives.
