The grant funding process begins in the spring with community grant information sessions. Organizations submit letters of intent and if approved to continue, they submit a formal grant proposal. Owensboro Health also offers a mini-grant program, year-round, for community event sponsorships and smaller health-related projects. (Note: We allocate $60,000.00 in mini grant funds annually.)

ARTS IN MEDICINE AND THE HEALING ENVIRONMENT
19
Which takes us to arts in medicine and the healing environment.19
HOLISTIC HEALTHViewing man in his totality within a wide ecological spectrum, and emphasizing the view that ill health or disease is brought about by an imbalance, or disequilibrium, of man in his total ecological system and not only by the causative agent and pathogenic evolutionThe World Health Organization (WHO)
20
This important perspective is echoed in the organization's 1946 preamble, wherein health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being rather than merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
Implied in this definition is the tie to health outcomes or changes in health as a result of an action; in the present case, the connection between artistic engagement and the psychosocial and biological manifestations of that connection. More specifically, there is evidence that engagement with artistic activities, either as an observer of the creative efforts of others or as an initiator of one's own creative efforts, can enhance one's moods, emotions, and other psychological states as well as have a salient impact on important physiological parameters.
For those unfamiliar with arts in medicine, or the healing environment as we call it, I have a short video produced by UF health.

The idea that creative expression can make a powerful contribution to the healing process has been embraced in many different cultures. Throughout recorded history, people have used pictures, stories, dances, and chants as healing rituals.27there has been much philosophical and anecdotal discussion about the benefits of art and healing, but less empirical research exists in the literature. In fact, although arts therapy has been used clinically for more than a century28and has been recognized as a profession since 1991,29much of the published work is theoretical in nature, with little discussion of specific outcomes.13,30Only in recent years have systematic and controlled studies examined the therapeutic effects and benefits of the arts and healing.31Nevertheless, we have seen positive outcomes for the potential of using art to promote healing in our 4 primary areas of focus. This article is not meant to be a comprehensive review of all of the literature available (other authors have provided comprehensive overviews in areas such as music therapy32and expressive writing33). Instead, it represents a sampling of the many potential benefits of art in enhancing health and wellness.
There is evidence that use of art and music reduces hospital stays, with studies showing earlier discharges among patients taking part in visual and performing arts interventions than among those not doing so.69,70In 1 study, surgery or critical care patients who participated in guided imagery or had a picture of a landscape on their wall had a decreased need of narcotic pain medication relative to their counterparts and left the hospital earlier.71,72Evaluations of art projects can link the benefits of creative expression to healing and greater wellness.

Creating a Healing Environment
scope
Music EngagementMusic is the most accessible and most researched medium of art and healing, and there has been a principal emphasis on the soothing capacity of music and its ability to offset overly technological approaches to care.34In particular, music therapy has been shown to decrease anxiety.3537The pleasure shared by participants in the healing process through a music therapy program can help to restore emotional balance as well.38There is also evidence of the effectiveness of auditory stimulation, together with a strong suggestion that such stimulation abolishes pain, as a strategy for achieving control over pain.39
In addition, it has been shown that music can calm neural activity in the brain,40which may lead to reductions in anxiety, and that it may help to restore effective functioning in the immune system partly via the actions of the amygdala and hypothalamus. As the activity levels of neurons in the central nucleus of the amygdala decrease in response to calming effects of music, there may be corresponding reductions in the signals being sent to other parts of the brain.Table 1outlines the results of key studies we reviewed that focused on music engagement.2
