Our program provides free speech-hearing
screenings, massage therapy, nutrition
education, oral motor & voice activities,
amplification accessibility, physical fitness
activities, and more at events. Blood
pressure screenings, dental care, and other
health care services are offered at our
program fair. All screenings are free during
events and provided on a sliding scale* basis
at office locations. Follow-up evaluation
and treatment are available for individuals
failing screenings on a sliding scale basis.
Local, regional, and national visual and
performing artists provide music, dance,
comedy/spoken word, magic, paintings, and
sculpture, as well as, art education during
community events. Artists who share their
talents with those who might not otherwise
have a chance to experience the arts, play an
integral part in every event. Artists are
selected during annual auditions in April.
“Laughter is the Best Medicine” Health
and Arts Program provides events at
unique Middle Tennessee public and
private venues and other surrounding areas
during April [Minority Health and Autism
Awareness Month], May [Better Hearing
and Speech Month], September [Deaf
Awareness Fundraiser Month], and
December [Gala Month]. Participants
receive free food/beverages, health
screenings, nutrition education, physical
fitness, literacy activities, speech pathology
services, and much more.
Our organization actively lobbies on the
local through federal levels for health care
and arts. Politicians, commissioners,
agency representatives, educators, and
other community/policy leaders attend
events to:
1. learn new methods/processes for
meeting the needs of people with
disabilities;
2. promote positive activities
provided to community members
who grow, develop, and function
with health & arts services for
activities of daily life; and
3. create health reform legislation
needed to bridge the gap of
affordability and access for
healthcare & arts services in the
community at-large without
discrimination.
