Less Clinical, More Care

Art therapist watches young girl paints with watercolorsAva Vanderhoef has received infusion therapy every week for nearly three years. Though she’s become accustomed to the routine, she still dreads the moment when the nurse inserts the needle into her chest.

Ann Walker oversees weekly art therapy sessions for Ava Vanderhoef and other patients in the Infusion Clinic.

Then she settles in for eight hours of treatment.
