UC Davis Health began its art collection in 1983 and now has more than 2,600 pieces. Much of the artwork is crafted by local artists who largely reflect their communities in their work. The health system believes art is an integral part of the treatment, therapy and experience for patients and staff. Many studies point to the fact that good quality art or a pleasant environment can lead to better clinical outcomes.
