I was a Volunteer & I helped arranged presentations to Rotary Clubs
Post public compliment
I became aware of the Foundation for Photo Art in Hospitals at a Rotary International conference. Elaine gave a presentation which included a lot of her photography. Since that time which was shortly after the fouyndation was started I have heard many reports of how her art has benefitted hospitalized patients. Elaine has a great photographic talents which she has selflessly contributed to bettering conditions on hospitals.
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... bettering the environment in hospitals and have read many testmonials from physicians and hpsital administrators.
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... how something that is so inexpensive can make such a difference.
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... completely in favor of this project.
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... reach many more hospitals particularly in areas that cannot afford photo art.

- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... trying fill the need of photo art with limited resources .
I got involved with the Foundation for Photo/Art in Hospitals about 4 years ago when Elaine contacted me about creating a website. The more I learned about the her organization and the dedication, warmth and love she brings to care giving institutions the more hooked I became. Elaine and I have become friends and continue to improve the site so that its stakeholders(patients, health care facilities, and donors) will continue to succeed in amazing ways. My goal is to work with more clients, like The Foundation, that share a passion for doing good in the world. Richard Price – Ascend Interactive

The Foundation for Photo Art in hospitals has been able to make the world a better place in it's small way. The beautiful large pictures it has placed in over 150 facilities across the world brings joy and happiness to patients and their families every single day. Who likes the feeling of a cold hospital with bare white walls? Elaine's pictures allows people to forget about their problems, pain and illness while bringing a sense of warmth where it's needed most.
I've witnessed the extraordinary work of this foundation since it's inception and am so proud of what my mother has been able to accomplish in the past 8 years. My involvement has been centered around web site optimization, analytics and online advertising - to try and drive awareness and additional traffic to the site.
I look forward to seeing the continued success of the foundation in the years to come. Brava Elaine!

- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... Landing a BIG grant, and getting funding in general.
- One thing I'd also say is that... They could try introducing a photography contest on their site where individuals submit 1-2 of their best nature photos. The winner would could then get their pictures printed, mounted and sent to a hospital of their choice!
I was a Client Served & Enjoyed the photos placed in the hospital where I worked in Kenya.

As a nurse working in a mission hospital in Kenya, I noticed first hand as patients, relatives, and even staff members found calmness and peace in looking at the beautiful pictures hanging on the walls by patients’ beds and recovery areas as well as along the corridors in the hospital.
I still remember the one beautiful picture hanging on the staff room wall; it brought such peace to my soul each time I looked at it as I took my short break and ate my lunch before returning to work.
The foundation for Photo/Art in Hospitals has been such a wonderful vessel of ensuring that nature comes to both patients and their health care providers who would otherwise not have a chance to do so at the time.
May the foundation continue its great work of touching people’s lives in such a special way!

My initial experience was meeting and working with Elaine Poggi on a successful artwork project for a children's hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. From there we have shared a friendship and continued interest in photo/art and how it can impact patients and many types of healthcare environments. Currently, I am serving as a board member and helping to support Elaine's significant efforts to extend the Foundation's reach to many healthcare facilities and clinics throughout the world - especially those in special need of "healing photo/art".
The Great!
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... that it focuses on how a patient's experince can be enhanced and improved by the artwork surrounding them. Whether it is in a public hospital corridor or a private patient room these colorful photo/art images often serve as the only "windows to the world"

- One thing I'd also say is that... Elaine's photo/art can make a difference in the surroundings of a clinic, local hospital, or larger healthcare facilities throughout the world, especially those that express a need for images to help patients feel that they are in a healing environment
