For  NYU  Langone Health,  SRFA  developed  an  arts policy  that   provided  the  framework  for the arts  to  be  integrated  into  the  daily life of the Center.  The  art program  was attuned  to NYULMC’s  healing  mission and provided humanizing  experiences  that were sensitive  to the  diverse  medical treatments underwent  by patients.  Artwork by contemporary  artists was acquired  to include  larger  works  for  the waiting  areas of  out-patient  facilities  and more  intimately scaled  works  for patient  rooms. All contribute  to  a more  comfortable  and soothing  environment  while  responding  to the  diversity  of  needs, emotions  and experiences of  hospital patients  on  a  24-hour  basis.
