Art Pharmacy has launched in Massachusetts with the first statewide arts prescription program in the US. Further, as a company focused on improving the health and well-being of our members, we are pleased to share that Mass General Brigham has joined this effort specifically to support stress management and its impact on hypertension. Mass General Brigham President and CEO, Anne Klibanski, MD, explained, “We will focus this care at the primary care sites where patients are at most risk, given the long-standing disparities in blood pressure control for underserved communities. This initiative will work in parallel with our clinical equity efforts and our commitment to a personalized, quality experience for every patient at Mass General Brigham.” “We know that the arts have healing powers – both for physical and mental health," noted Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey. "Massachusetts is proud to yet again be pioneering a transformative medical innovation with the nation's first statewide arts prescription solution.” Art has long been recognized for its impact on physical and mental health. With the launch of Art Pharmacy’s program in Massachusetts, the arts become a recognized healthcare solution.
