“Art by the disABLEd” is a program for individuals with disabilities who are looking for showcase and exhibition opportunities for their creative works. Each of Lee Memorial Health System’s hospitals maintains a gallery to display their artwork and the health system arranges an annual juried art show and assists disabled artists in participating in local art shows. Arts in Healthcare is led by the program coordinator with the support of more than 70 volunteers, and is funded by donations.
