Hello everyone! Wishing you health and peace during these uncertain times!

Hello From Buffalo, NY. I work as an AIR in our Children’s Hospital

Send any resources you want to share to director@thenoah.net

Can you explain what you mean by promt

is there a list of prompts you have used in the past?

The prompt page idea is great. Right now there is a lot of energy around using technology to reach patients and potential participants but we also need low-tech approaches - especially for older adults. These prompts can be communicated to patients in memory care programs etc.

Great point Anthony! Low tech is good

my family are creating pantry archeology to ask a member to pull our random old food from freezer and pantry and create a suggestion for an edible recipe

iso prompt twice a day a small group who visit and get a Zoom 30-40 minute demo and coaching

Please let me know your suggestions too on the website resources, etc once you’ve had a chance to look. Thanks! director@thenoah.net

Hi from Baton Rouge General! I am excited to share that our Infection Control Officer and Incident Command has just approved that we can receive handmade get well cards from the community to share with our inpatients! I am going to set up a card making station in our outpatient radiation waiting area and our outpatient infusion lab (both places that usually receive Arts in Medicine regularly.) This will be a wonderful way for those at home to be able to do something to cheer up our inpatients who are so isolated. Distribution will have to be done by floor staff, but I am told by our nurses that they will love to help make their patients smile!

Has anyone tried shared drawing activities using the zoom whiteboard feature? I am thinking about trying the prompt activity with a group of psychiatry residents for wellness in this way

@stephanie - Yes! The whiteboard feature is really a great tool.

I didn’t know that zoom had a white board feature. How do you activate it?

I have a hard time making videos for patients when my practice is responding to the patients and patterning my responses and facilitation to them, so I am working on permission to Face Time or Zoom them, without burdening the clinical staff there.

Select 'share screen' and the option is there.

The participants can then engage with the 'whiteboard'

Juliet Lockwood here. Juliet.lockwood@icloud.com. I hVe5 students twice daily

Thanks Carlie!

Hi Juliet!

juliet- who are your students? Patients, clients?

Anthony, we will look into the white board feature - I am not familiar yet!

Thanks. I found it with share but didn’t want to turn it on during this call. Perhaps there is a YouTube video about it.

Yes - absolutely!

Brookline Adult Ed - private clients who have varied diagnoses , elders and mixed ability students. I was a artist in residence at BR General. I continue to interface with some patients as a creative coach.

@Susan - are you able to share the link here?

please email me. I am assisting BA&CE.org become distant learning friendly.

I lost 7 courses that were starting this week

good thought Gina

Gina- I agree. I am trying to concentrate on my neighborhood as I am at home, and my hospital as an employee who is trying to offer what I do with patients from home…

I am volunteering these Zoom classes and was careful not to blow up former students email box. it’s a fine line how not to solicit vulnerable people, who just need connection, and prompts!

What is the timeline on this one pager?

And i am hoping to bring support to my cause that “Other Major Hospitals” are continuing their arts programs to support the need for ours to continue. We have three artists- a musician, visual artist (me), and writer. Total of 45 hours a week split between the three of us.

I would be on that review for you

I would love to assist in being a reviewer

Let’s pitch in a very clear - need work - place in the repository. I too want a new big gig like I had in Baton Rouge!

Gina, I work with Rush University Medical Center in Chicago from Columbia College Chicago. Feel free to contact me if you need State-wide support!

simus@colum.edu

Thanks, Susan. gina.p.vozenilek@osfhealthcare.org

While we have well established storytelling program that has been recognized by our admin, I have JUST submitted a business plan to start up a comprehensive arts in health program for our hospital system (Ballad Health in NE TN and SW VA). So this one-pager will be very important to me to make sure that admin sees the continued value and won't put budget for it on the back burner after the economic hit we are taking. I'm happy to be a reviewer as I have a vested interest in the letter hitting the hot points my admin will need to hear!

Kim- that’s awesome Ei wei wei did that for prisoners of war

For those interested in being reviewers, please note that when completing the form. The form ensures I don't miss anyone! Thanks in advance!https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/volunteer-interest

I just want to recommend that everyone should be keeping a good record of their activities in the service of healthcare so that later we will have good "evidence" to demonstrate value. We won't have a lot of support today in designing studies, but at some future time we will have a robust collection of potential "case studies"

Great suggestion Gina - thank you!

I am torn by this, I was thinking of chalking the walks outside our hospital, but here we need to not be out unless necessity

I had that same conflict on Monday (for Doctor's Day), and did refrain. There are a lot of considerations that are key right now.

I did Chalk the Walk this week! There are boxes of chalk at two entrances (with gloves). Because we are encouraged to take breaks and step outside.

Thank you all for your work towards the creative wellbeing of our communities!
