Constanza Roeder is a Speaker, Singer, Founder of Hearts Need Art, IFAH Top 100 Healthcare Visionaries.
Her story:
The arts and the power of community helped facilitate my own healing after my doctor diagnosed me with Leukemia at the age of 13. Thanks to two and-a-half years of chemotherapy, I’ve been cancer free since 2002 and completed my BA in Music and minor in Psychology from Bethany University.
After my experience with Leukemia, I knew that the arts could significantly improve the healthcare experience. To give back, I started volunteering to sing for cancer patients at a hospital in San Antonio, TX in 2009. My patients begged for more art and music, so I started Hearts Need Art: Creative Support for Adults with Cancer. My nonprofit combats anxiety, depression, and social isolation by using the arts to create moments of joy, self-expression, and connection for those facing life-altering health challenges.
I now speak, write, and teach others to re-frame and reclaim the healing power their creativity.
