Vibrations of Care: Sheila’s Journey into Healing Arts
Q: From your perspective, what is happening in the body when people experience these frequencies?

Vibrations of Care: Sheila’s Journey into Healing Arts
Q: Would you like to start off by introducing yourself?
Sheila Khan introduces herself as a sound healer on Stanford Health Care's Creative & Healing Arts Team, working with patients, faculty, and families to bring healing through sound.
Designing Care: Sophina McDaniel and the Creation of Arts Co-Scribing
Q: What steps can hospitals take to improve access to arts-based services for patients?
Hospitals can remove rigid referral bottlenecks, round in every unit to offer services, build an asset map including arts-based resources, and ensure facilitators can connect patients to diverse, culturally relevant options both inpatient and post-discharge.
Designing Care: Sophina McDaniel and the Creation of Arts Co-Scribing
Q: How do you define and implement the concept of art co-scribing in practice?
Art co-scribing centers the patient's voice, allowing them to choose the art form, music, or movement that best supports their healing, with facilitators co-creating active experiences rather than delivering fixed outcomes.
Designing Care: Sophina McDaniel and the Creation of Arts Co-Scribing
Q: In what ways can social prescribing enhance the connection between clinical care and community support?
Social prescribing can deepen trust and engagement with the hospital by framing arts-based services as part of ongoing care, extend benefits beyond discharge, and position healing arts as a proactive, preventative component of patient well-being.
