Artists Remaking Medicine: The practice of imagination and the power to create a better healthcare future

In this powerful anthology on the intersection of art and medicine, acclaimed author Emily F. Peters teams with 25 artist changemakers to explore the history, practice, and future of radical creativity in healthcare.

Curious, colorful, and optimistic: Artists Remaking Medicine is a bold chronicle of medical humanities in action that inspires new thinking about what is possible when we embrace the paradox of both loving medicine and challenging its most toxic structures.

At a time when healthcare feels sanitized, demoralized, and plagued with burnout and inequity, artists teach us to hope and to practice a more vivid moral imagination. Through dynamic conversations, this book is an illuminating journey through the intertwined history of art and medicine dating back to the Stone Age and how we can create a more abundant and human healthcare future today.
