Center for Humanities in Medicine
The Center for Humanities in Medicine supports Mayo Clinic’s primary value, the needs of the patient come first, by integrating the arts and other expressions of human culture into the healing environment.
The Center engages interconnected communities of patients, families, staff, learners, and the public to promote the artful and compassionate delivery of healthcare. Humanities in Medicine activities are open to Mayo Clinic patients, staff, visitors and community members and are made possible by the generous donations of grateful benefactors.
Rochester nurse Genaida Benson, "Piano Nurse", works in Non-Vascular Radiology and has been regularly sharing her beautiful talent with Rochester staff through a private employee COVID19 FB page.
Every day she brings a bit of light and hope to those working to deliver Mayo's mission to patients and students.
About music, Genaida states "it brings relaxation, elevates the mind, mood and spirit and it brings peace to the soul and healing to the heart. Music calms the spirit and decreases anxiety".
