National Summit: Arts, Health and Well-Being Across the Military Continuum

The 2nd National Summit: Arts, Health and Well-Being Across the Military Continuum hosted by the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center is a by-invitation event focusing on the benefits of arts exposure, active art-making, and issues related to research, policy, and practice in arts and health across the military continuum. The summit is part of the National Initiative for Arts & Health in the Military, a collaborative effort to advance the arts in health, healing, and healthcare for military service members, veterans, their families, and caregivers. Over 200 leaders from the military and arts community will be in attendance to share their experience, findings, and solutions for moving forward. The results of the discussions will be summarized and included as part of the findings of the National Initiative for Arts & Health in the Military White Paper, to be released in late Spring, 2013.
