Description of initiative

SaludArte is a unique project that emerged in 2019 from IDIVAL in collaboration with the Botín Center and the Marqués de Valdecilla University Hospital. SaludArte Group is a multidisciplinary team of professionals from Valdecilla that works to design and develop a program of artistic activities with the aim of improving the well-being of professionals and the experience of the people who come to the hospital. During the SaludArte project health workers participated in a 4-week training created and evaluated by the Botín Center and Yale University to improve the well-being of the health and non-health professionals of the Marqués de Valdecilla University Hospital, through the realization and enjoyment of artistic activities. In addition, they participated in various exhibitions of the Botín Center.
