What value do the arts - dance, music, art, crafts, tai chi, yoga, mean to our healthcare system? What role does our culture and heritage play in our sense of security and belonging? How does a community thrive and rise above healthcare challenges? We do this by living with vitality at the forefront with programs that inspire us to feel passion for living.
