Last Fall, The LIVESTRONG® Community Impact Project awarded 63 organizations over $800,000 in grants to help people affected by Cancer, and Orlando's own MD Anderson Cancer Center was among the grant winners. The center was awarded $20,000 after getting enough votes during the two week online voting period.
MD Anderson Cancer Center and United Arts of Central Florida will work together to carry out The Creative Center’s Artists-in-Residence program, which will offer patients the opportunity to learn about and become absorbed in their own creative resources as they meet the challenges of diagnosis, treatment and survivorship. The program will work bedside and in small group settings with men, women and children – in oncology units, bone marrow transplant units, intensive care/respiratory units, hospice and palliative care programs.
