ARTDOCS (Artists Receiving Treatment
Doctors Offering Crucial Services) is a 501c3
charitable organization founded in New
Orleans in 1999 by artist / gallery owner
Jonathan Ferrara and Dr. Vincent Morelli to
address the critical issue of artist healthcare.
For over ten years, ARTDOCS has provided
medical care to artists in New Orleans and
has treated over 2500 artist patients.
In order to have a healthy culture, we
must have healthy artists. And in order to
have healthy artists, we need a place for
artists to turn to for their medical needs.
Caring For The Creative Soul
ARTDOCS offers much-needed medical care to
visual artists, writers, musicians and other
performing artists in need of routine and
urgent health services. One of the first
programs of its kind in the country,
ARTDOCS
gives members of the New Orleans creative
community a place to turn to address their
often-overlooked medical concerns.
Currently, artist patients in New Orleans are
seen at the Daughters of Charity Health
Center at St. Cecilia's in the Bywater (4201
North Rampart Street) by Drs. Coleman Pratt
and Sarat Raman, medical director.
Patients seen by ARTDOCS New Orleans
physicians are
provided routine primary care, acute care
treatment, chronic disease management and
preventive services at no cost to them.
Access to specialty services is also
provided, usually through Louisiana's
University/Charity system.
The ARTDOCS Benefit Auction will feature a
live art auction with works by 56 nationally
known artists, music by DJ Soul Sister, Fire
Spinners
aerialists, Old New Orleans Rum, Abita Beer
and food from Byblos
Restaurant and Theo Pizza
