Arts in HealthCare

Ruckus Ensemble - "After the Crash" 
- research-based theatre about Traumatic Brain Injury
(excellent)

Bev Foster - Room 217
Music for feeling peace while in hospital or ...
I played this often when Mom was in the hospital - it brings a sense of continuity that sets all the beeps and bumps and footsteps of the hospital into the background.
And the songs are beautifully chosen and performed.
Bev's father had Alzheimer's - his room was Room 217.

www.inspiredeconomies.com - money facilitates many or most forms of creation/production, 
and hinders others.  This site questions whether Ecological Economics, like conventional 
classical and Keynesian economics, fails to tap potential by relying on incentives, missing inspiration.
