In order to expand access to the healing arts for patients, staff, and our wider community, Keck Medicine of USC has helped establish I_AM. I_AM draws on the premise that the expressive arts in patient care has the potential to reduce levels of anxiety, depression and stress, thereby improving clinical outcomes and includes a network of artists and physicians that deliver an integrative model of patient care, grounded in research and medical staff education, staff engagement, and community outreach.

In order to promote a serene and healing environment for patients, families, and staff, I_AM also oversees various permanent and rotating art exhibits throughout the Keck Medical Center, Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, and various outpatient clinic spaces.
