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.

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.

AIM is committed to using the creative arts and arts therapies 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.

The greatest gift that UF Health Shands Arts in Medicine can give families is the gift of art during their most challenging life experiences. This is the case with Avnee Rawal’s family.
