UAB Arts in Medicine (AIM) is excited to offer virtual mindfulness classes every Thursday. AIM seeks to transform the care environment and enhance well-being and healing through creative arts experiences for patients, their families, and staff. Integrating the arts into health care is proven to benefit patients and caregivers in the following ways:

  • Reduced stress
  • Reduction in perceived pain
  • Improved mood
  • Distraction from medical problems
  • Increased self-expression
  • Increased self-confidence

Sessions led by Dr. Kristine Hurst-Wajszczuk
