Art with a Heart in Healthcare (AWAHIH) is a non-profit organization based in Jacksonville, FL, dedicated to providing personalized fine art experiences that aid in the healing process for patients and their families. Founded in 2001 by cousins Lori Guadagno and Lisa Landwirth Ullmann, AWAHIH has served thousands of individuals, offering art sessions, music, storytelling, and printable coloring pages to promote well-being and empowerment in clinical settings.
With a mission to humanize the high-tech atmosphere of healthcare facilities, AWAHIH aims to make arts engagement universally accessible, allowing patients to have choices in their creative process and recover their sense of self from illness. Over the past 20 years, they have served over 125,000 patients and families, delivering art supplies through more than 4,550 art to-go bags. Through their efforts, AWAHIH has become a vital source of emotional support and relaxation for individuals like Aaron, age 17, who finds solace in painting during stressful times.
