Carroll Hospital's Community Art Gallery is an initiative designed to enhance relaxation and healing within the hospital setting.
The gallery, located in the East Pavilion on the Carroll Hospital campus, launched in July 2015 and rotates quarterly with works created exclusively by volunteer artists from around the community. The artwork is not merely decoration. Research shows that exposure to art in medical settings can lead to shorter hospital stays, reduced pain levels and lower rates of depression for patients.
It’s findings like these that bolstered Carroll Hospital’s decision to make art a priority in the William E. Kahlert Regional Cancer Center and Tevis Center for Wellness. Today, both centers feature original painting and photography collections from local and nationally renowned artists, as well as state-of-the-art sound systems that deliver calming audio experiences. These enhancements were funded in part by a gift from Dr. Robert Scott and Mrs. Carolyn Scott and became the inspiration for the Community Art Gallery.
