MetroHealth Program 'Prescribes' Creative Expression as a Treatment for Loneliness
Knowing the powerful impact engaging with the arts has on mental health and loneliness, The MetroHealth System’s Center for the Arts in Health launched ArtsRx, a pilot project that allows providers to “prescribe” arts activities and experiences for their patients. The project, funded through a $16,578 ArtsNEXT grant from the Ohio Arts Council, links patients with opportunities for creative expression led by local artists and arts
organizations. Patients can participate in as many activities as they would like during the pilot period, which runs through May 12. And it’s all free.

Spotlight: Black Maternal Health Week
Black women in Ohio are nearly three times more likely to die in childbirth than their white peers; their odds of experiencing severe complications during pregnancy and delivery are almost double. At MetroHealth, we are intent on confronting the systems, processes and biases behind that shocking and unacceptable reality.
Black Maternal Health Week, April 11-17, is an opportunity to highlight this crisis and MetroHealth's work to bring about critical change. Over the weekend, MetroHealth co-sponsored the first Black Maternal Health Equity Summit with Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine's Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative. Throughout the year, MetroHealth is a national model for ending health inequity by making high-quality healthcare accessible to all with the goal of
eliminating the glaring gap in life expectancies and eradicating the maternal health crisis.
