Patient Art

Art is an excellent form of therapy, and a means of keeping our minds active and engaged. Some Memory & Movement Charlotte patients are lifelong artists, and others have taken up art later in life. We are touched and grateful that so many have gifted work to us.

Art is also an important means of self-expression. Patient art displayed throughout the practice is a daily reminder that each of our patients has a full and vibrant life story and we strive to honor that every day through our care.

The Doctor: Why is this Painting Here?

There's a painting in the Memory & Movement Charlotte waiting room that has attracted a lot of attention - and questions - over the years. Dr. Chuck Edwards explains what it means to him, and why he'll never take it down.
