As a doctor focused on international health, Dr. Iva Fattorini has had the opportunity to observe many patients from around the world in the ways in which they deal with their treatment. She noticed that for many patients once the medical tests are done, so much of their time is spent waiting. They are essentially left to watch the clock because many hospitals do not provide additional stimulation beyond the basics of treatment for their patients. When a patient is in hospital for a life-threatening illness, there is often a moment of self-reflection as one confronts their own mortality. Dr. Fattorini believes that this is a moment in which healthcare providers should be providing something new and beautiful to that patient's life. Her organization, Artcene, works to activate the latent therapeutic power of art in a way that not only makes a stay in the hospital more enjoyable, but also promotes the healing process.
