The Al & Malka GreenArtists’ Health Centre

Don’t let your art suffer because of your health

The Al & Malka Green Artists’ Health Centre

The Al and Malka Green Artists’ Health Centre is a specialized healthcare facility at the Toronto Western Hospital.

The Centre’s inter-professional team offers both medical and complementary care to professional creative and performing artists, and to students and staff at post- secondary arts institutions. A subsidy fund is available to allow artists of limited means to access the Centre and enjoy its resources.

The specialized expertise of our practitioners focuses on the specific health care issues and needs of artists, providing a holistic approach to health within an evidence-based framework. The knowledge acquired through the Artists’ Health Centre will benefit not only artists in the Toronto area, but also those across Canada and internationally through communications and research.

The Centre includes an Acoustic Studio, and a Movement Assessment Studio with a sprung floor and video equipment to aid in diagnosis and treatment.

Founded in 2002, the Artists’ Health Centre is an integrative clinic at Toronto Western Hospital. Our practitioners specialize in addressing the specific health care needs of professional creative and performing artists, as well as students and teachers of the arts. We are a unique facility − we are the only clinic in Canada that specializes in serving the entire artistic community in a hospital setting.

To date, the AHC has had over 20,000 patient visits, from musicians, visual artists, actors, dancers, writers, vocalists and many other members of the creative community.

We are a clinic designed for artists, to help you continue creating. We are healthcare providers, we are shiatsu and massage therapists, chiropractors, psychotherapists, and physiotherapists. We listen, we diagnose, we support and we heal.

Through the Joysanne Sidimus Subsidy Fund we are able to subsidize our services for artists in financial need, so they only pay a small fraction of the cost.

The Artists’ Health Alliance (AHA), is an active partner of the Artists’ Health Centre. The Artists’ Health Alliance is a one of a kind organization, partnering the artistic and medical community for healing, strengthening and empowering the creative community.
