Art has the power to lift the atmosphere of any room, so it only makes sense if we associate it with healthcare. With the pandemic going on and people having to stay either in their home or in the hospital, looking at blank walls can only bring down the morale and willpower. Staying stuck in a room or in an environment where there is no aesthetics, can further deteriorate the patient's condition.
