FOUNDATION FOR PHOTO ART IN HOSPITALS INC
February 28, 2010
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.

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!

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".

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"

As an oncology nurse, I can tell you the foundation's photography reaches the soul of the patient and their caregiver. It takes them away from the traumatic episodes of their lives to beautiful places they may never have been able to see before. It lets them forget, for a moment, the stress of their daily life and lets them enjoy the beautiful moments of being alive. When you look at Elaine's photography you are with her at that moment, experiencing the landscape, the animals, the ocean, the mountains --you are experiencing the beauty of our amazing planet.

KISES (Kiranmayi socio educational society) is associated with Elaine Poggi for the last 3 years and till interaction with her we feel art is only an event and does change the man's life in behaviour, attitude and perceptions, but indeed we experienced that it can cure the diseases also as after displaying the photos collected from Elaine has made a remarkable change among our patients in the hospital. Art is the language of the unspoken soul. Nature is the language of our existence and by gathering the above two and disseminating to many persons who can spark the lights of the many lives is really an excellent work done by Elaine. Though ambition for many people all may not accomplish the object of their vision. But Elaine is such kind of person who can reach the destination till the end without hesitation. Their high quality photos have reached hospitals in the most remote corners of the world and continue to expand to others. The founder's efficient organizational and resourceful skills continue to be a pillar of the organization. May all hospitals and patients benefit from this organization. It is a great pleasure for us to share our experience and interaction with Foundation and also with Elaine and hope through this Foundation the services can reach to many more hospitals and the patients can recover very soon with these photographs. Mrs. Rajani Suram, Executive Director, KISES, Andhra Pradesh, India.

I have been involved with the Foundation from its inception as a board meember. The amazing thing is that we have been able to place over 2000 photographs in hospitals in many countries and continents with a miniscule staff, i.e. Elaine Poggi, and very little funding. It shows what can be done with determination and how a very small group of people can make a difference in this world. This foundation has made an amazing difference. We are on our way to 3000 photos placed and beyond.
