Distinctive Art Source to Present at Healthcare Design Conference

One of our favorite parts of the job at Distinctive Art Source is helping our clients share their success stories. In November, we’re looking forward to joining our friends at Southeast Health to present “Designing the Cancer Patient Experience” at the Healthcare Design 2011 Conference in Nashville, TN.

Barbara Harriman, IIDA, President/Creative Director, Distinctive Art Source, will present along with Sly Moore, MA, MBA, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Southeast Health; Judy Aslin, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, Executive Director, Cancer Center, Southeast Health; Gary Adamson, Chief Experience Officer, Starizon Studio; and 
Brian Pansing, AIA, Principal, PNM Ltd. Architects.

Together we’ll share the story of how Southeast Health and Starizon created a unique approach to the cancer patient experience that individualizes each patient’s journey while focusing on their life. Distinctive Art Source helped Southeast Health create a multimedia art program featuring local artists to enhance the patient journey through evidence and research based art selections. The program features 171 mulitmedia pieces of art that reflect the warm wood and stone interiors while portraying images with symbolic meanings that support the themes of Life, Hope and Journey.  The Southeast Health Cancer Center opened in February 2011.
