More About the Team and Who We Serve

Art Pharmacy’s Care Navigator team is responsible for ensuring Art Pharmacy’s program and services are delivered thoughtfully and in a timely manner to all members they support. Care Navigators are the main point of contact for Art Pharmacy members throughout their journey in the program. Care Navigators serve as the link between the individual and their arts and culture engagements. Care Navigators do not provide clinical care to members; however, team members tend to have a healthcare and/or clinical background.

They serve a variety of individuals in terms of ages, needs, and levels of support. The Care Navigator builds strong relationships with referred members to help them connect with health-improving arts and culture engagements. Care Navigators are committed to reducing the members’ barriers to the engagements by identifying obstacles with members, helping them navigate those obstacles, and using Art Pharmacy’s platform to recommend relevant engagements to increase the chance of uptake while also focusing on the best way to scale their services to serve as many individuals as possible.
