Living a Life of Joy with Dr. Patch Adams

The Arts in Caring Council presents an inspiring event with Dr. Patch Adams, the real person behind the hit movie Patch Adams, starring Robin Williams. Patch will be delivering his presentation “Living a Life of Joy” at Kingsbury Hall on Friday, May 16, 2008 at 7:00 PM.  Tickets are $25.00 per person, $10.00 for students, seniors, and children 6 – 12 yrs old. (Children under 6 are not admitted).  To purchase tickets visit www.kingtix.com or call 801.581.7100.
 

Patch is both a medical doctor and a clown, and he is also a social activist who has devoted 30 years to changing America's healthcare system.  Says Patch, “I interpret my experience in life as being happy. I want, as a doctor, to say it does matter to your health to be happy. It may be the most important health factor in your life”.  The Arts in Caring Council’s healthcare philosophy, closely aligned with that of Dr. Adams, dares to embody the notion that while access to direct care providers and conventional modalities of intervention are crucial, there is much more to good health and human well-being. The arts in health care movement is gaining popularity across the country quickly as research increasingly demonstrates that artistic and creative expression improve health outcomes.
