By donating to the General Arts in Medicine Fund, the Gaintner Family Endowment, the Music in Medicine Fund, or Brianna’s Hope Fund, you are directly supporting the artists who serve those whose access to the arts may be otherwise limited by their health conditions.
Gaintner Family Endowment
The focus of the Gaintner Family Endowment is to provide financial support for artists whose commitment is to bring their creative talents to the bedside, providing relief and comfort to those suffering through serious illness.
Music in Medicine Fund
The Music in Medicine fund was created to help ensure a solid funding base to support the work of the musicians in residence who provide engaging musical experiences to patients, their families, and hospital staff alike.
Giving to Integrative Therapies
Our team provides supportive care for patients by offering meditation, relaxation, yoga, tai chi, qigong, and massage therapy sessions at no cost to the recipients. Our practitioners teach patients tools they can use on their own between sessions and after discharge.
Your donation to the general Arts in Medicine fund supports our skilled professionals who deliver this important service to our patients at UF Health.
Brianna’s Hope Fund
AIM is committed to using the creative arts to engage and support our youngest patients through the challenges they face while coping with a serious illness. Our artists say that they frequently receive more from patients than they give, as is the case with Brianna Medina and her ever hopeful heart.
