Healing Arts Program

The purpose of the Beaufort Memorial Hospital healing arts program is to support the healing process in a welcoming and soothing environment than can reduce stress and anxiety for patients, visitors, and staff members. Visual arts, music, natural light, images and elements of nature, and healing interior design contribute to the comfort, safety, privacy, and wellness of every individual involved in the healing process.

Fabrics and surfaces were selected to soften the medical environment including pastel paint colors, sandy beach-colored countertops, circular designs, mosaic tile floors and rounded corners.
