Treating patients with science and art

In Tidewell’s industry-leading Expressive Arts program, our trained therapists direct patients’ focus away from pain — all without side effects.

We use innovative forms of therapy — like expressive arts, music therapy, pet therapy, and massage — alongside conventional medicine to bring spiritual and emotional comfort that medicine alone can’t supply. These clinically proven treatments effectively reduce pain and anxiety, while evoking a greater sense of well-being.

That’s why these programs are in such high demand.

Thanks to the generous support of our donors, the Tidewell Foundation is able to offer expressive arts therapy free of charge to patients and families. It’s our goal to share art’s healing power with all who need it.
