Project Description:
As part of the European Capital of Culture programme, Cork 2005 joined forces with the HSE Southern Area to make a number of projects accessible to patients, healthcare staff and visitors in a number of hospitals, daycare centres, residential units and community healthcare settings in the Cork area.

Throughout the year, the working partnership between Cork 2005 and HSE Southern Area personnel brought music, dance, drama, and the visual arts to patients in healthcare locations in the region who otherwise would not be able to participate in the Cork 2005 programme. The Cork 2005 Culture and Health Programme consisted of three signature projects and a Culture in Residence programme, designed specifically for the health services.
