Explore a groundbreaking collaboration between the Portland Museum of Art and Maine Medical Center—where art is reshaping how clinicians see, listen, and care. This Mindful Museum Month program highlights a decade of partnership that brings medical practitioners into the galleries to sharpen perception, deepen empathy, and cultivate more attentive, human-centered practice.

Join Dr. Sam Woodworth, Hospitalist at Maine Medical Center, and Meghan Quigley Graham, Director of Learning and Teaching at the PMA, as they reflect on how this cross-disciplinary exchange began, how it’s evolving, and why art has become an essential tool in medical training and mindful clinical care.

Part of The Mindful Museum: Slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the stress-relieving benefits of art all January at the PMA.
