Want to Sponsor a Photo Project for a Hospital or Medical Facility?

Many healthcare facilities that would like to order healing photo art have no funding available and must rely on the generosity of others, such as private foundations, corporations and local businesses, community organizations, and individuals. If you represent an organization or individual who would like to sponsor a healthcare facility, please follow the ordering instructions given below.Healing Through Art

  1. Identify an area in a healthcare facility that can benefit from our photos.
  2. Get permission from the facility administration or a physician to proceed with the project.
  3. Contact us to discuss the project and decide the quantity of photos needed for the specific area of the hospital or facility. Minimum order is 10 photos.
  4. Select the photos from our Photo Gallery and send the list to Elaine by email. Most facilities prefer our photos mounted on forex, crafted in Northern Italy.  We can also send photos without frames. Check with your hospital about the framing they prefer.
  5. Although all images are donated by Elaine and our Contributing Photographers, we require a donation on behalf of the facility to cover the expenses of photo printing, laminating, framing, shipping, and handling. This donation is tax deductible. After Elaine receives your order, she will send you a proposal for the funds needed for the project.
  6. Make your contribution payable to The Foundation for Photo/Art in Hospitals, Inc. for the amount on the proposal. Please donate online (click Button Below) or send the check to:
    Rosemary Strembicki, Treasurer
    Foundation for Photo/Art in Hospitals
    4909 Laclede Ave., Unit 1704
    St. Louis, MO 63108 USA     

  7. All donations (which are tax deductible) will be gratefully acknowledged by letter.
  8. Elaine prepares the photos and ships to the healthcare facility by UPS. Please allow two months from when the order is placed to delivery. You may volunteer to help hang the photos in your facility (a small nail is required).
  9. Often the facility or hospital organizes a dedication or inauguration of the new photo display with the participation of the sponsor and press.
  10. We gratefully thank our Participating Sponsors who have funded projects around the world.

Why You Should Sponsor a Hospital Photo Project

Our healing photos are more affordable than most hospital art. Our objective is to reduce the expenses of each photo to a minimum so that more photos can be placed in more facilities. In the case of bringing healing photo art to patients, their loved ones, and healthcare professionals, more is better.

“It was wonderful meeting you on Wednesday. You and your work became the topic of conversation at dinner with my family. I was so impressed with your skills as an artist, speaker and philanthropist.” Steven B. Miller, MD, Vice President, Chief Medical Officer, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, St. Louis, MO “The Foundation for Photo Art in Hospitals is an organization that reaches individuals in a heartfelt manner at critical times in their lives. This became evident to me when I attended a dedication of photographs on an adolescent psychiatric unit. The photos had been chosen through discussion with the young patients and each one of them came alive when they spoke about their favorites. We don’t often appreciate the small changes we make in individual lives but this foundation can take pride in how it salves the wounds of those suffering both physically and emotionally.” Rosemary Strembicki, Foundation Board Member, St. Louis, MO “Our Art Cart program is a “smashing” success. The patients, families and staff all love it. They intermingle with the patients on their choices. Wonderful stories come out of it. One in particular is an underwater picture with beautiful fish. One lady would not be transferred out of her room until the picture came with her. She said it reminded her of her best friend and her aquarium which gave her much comfort.” Suzanne M. Gaughn, Volunteer Services Manager, Olean General Hospital, NY “We appreciate very much the photos from your organization. It brings smiles to staff, patients and their relations who visit our facilities. The power of the photos in the healing process of our patients is incredible to the extent that it attracts and serves as points of convergence for patients at rest hours. The attraction of the photos enables patients to socialize among themselves, share common concerns and forget about their discomfort. Such fraternity among patients from different locations temporary brings relief which is crucial in the healing process and we are very grateful to Healing Photo Art Foundation.” Omar Nurudeen, District Health Services Administrator, Ghana, Africa “We tend to associate hospitals with sadness but Elaine’s photos change this perception. Her colorful images offer a window of color, memory and discovery, which is integral to any healing process. Changing people’s lives, room by room, wall by wall…these are the beacons of light and hope our world needs, day by day.” Elettra Fiumi, New York, NY “Your work is spectacular, and the framed photographs have added a wonderful dimension to the Breast Center… We hear very positive comments frequently from our patients and their families about the photographs. Patients have told us the pictures provide a sense of calm and hope, and how the pictures remind them of a happy time in their life. Your gift to the Breast Health Center was… deeply appreciated by all of us who work caring for women with breast problems, and most of all, by our patients. We have all been touched by your generous donation of such a personal and beautiful gift. Your work is obviously a labor of love, and we feel privileged to be the beneficiary of such kindness.” Virginia Herrmann, M.D., Breast Health Center, Washington Univ. School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO
