When we are in pain, facing illness or coping with loss, our voices can become muffled. Through the power of creativity, however, we can learn to tell our meaningful stories again.
Listen in as psychiatrist, Dr. Jennifer Reid, speaks with Constanza Roeder, an adolescent leukemia survivor and founder and CEO of Hearts Need Art: Creative Support for Patients and Caregivers. She is also host of the podcast “Arts for the Health of It.”
Topics we Discuss:
*Constanza's journey through cancer treatment at age 13
*Why are the creative arts so important for patients fighting disease?
*During Covid, how did Hearts Need Art help local musicians, writers and artists?
*How does this program also reach health care providers?
As a musician in healthcare, speaker, and thought leader, Constanza Roeder is on a mission to humanize healthcare through the arts. Ms. Roeder is the recipient of the 2018 Graceann Durr Humanitarian Award and was selected as one of the Top 100 Healthcare Visionaries by the International Forum on Advancements in Healthcare for 2021. Her work has been featured in various publications such as ThriveGlobal, Authority Magazine, Ticker News, National Association of Teachers of Singing, and the cover of MD News Magazine.
