Waikato Hospital Arts Committee

Waikato District Health Board staff are passionate about the role art plays in health care environments.

Over the years Waikato DHB has built up an extensive art collection from numerous artists in each of its hospitals through donation or purchase.

Well selected and appropriately placed artwork has a positive impact on wellness and wellbeing. Decorating hospitals with specific types of artwork can speed up a patient's healing process, shorten hospital stays and help manage pain.

The Arts Committee was established to monitor the acquisition of art, by making sure every piece donated adds value to the current collection.

If you are passionate about art like we are and would like to assist the Arts Committee in raising funds for this programme, your donation and or support would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to ask the charge nurse for more information or contact Info@waikatodhb.health.nz

The alternative to donating art is to donate money towards buying a piece of art. This way the Arts Committee can purchase the perfect piece of art to enhance patient wellbeing.
