[VIDEO] Artists Trade Time and Talent for Treatment
Sat, Mar 3, 2012
By V'inkin Lee and Tania Rashid
A new program at the Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center in the Bronx provides artists with medical coverage in exchange for their time and talent. Inspired by a similar initiative at Brooklyn’s Woodhull Medical Center, the Lincoln Art Exchange hopes to narrow the gap between the insured and the uninsured in the Bronx’s artistic community through its new program.
