At UF Health, we believe that healing involves more than just medical treatments—it’s about fostering moments of peace, connection, and emotional support. Meet Ricky Kendall our Arts in Medicine Practitioner. Ricky has been a dedicated musician in Gainesville for over a decade, and he brings his talent and compassion to the bedside of patients. Recently, Ricky played The Wind for a patient named Dave, creating a moment of comfort and calm through the universal language of music. Ricky’s own journey of healing inspires his work. After surviving a life-threatening accident as a child, he now shares the same hope and comfort he once received, offering patients a unique experience of emotional healing through music. At UF Health, our Arts in Medicine program integrates the healing power of the arts with traditional health care. This program allows us to care for the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—by providing patients like Dave with uplifting, therapeutic experiences during challenging times.

Researchers at the University of Florida have developed a cancer treatment vaccine that is currently going through trial testing. Dr. Elias Sayour M.D., Ph.D., a pediatric oncologist at UF Health is partly funded by the St. Baldrick’s Scholar award to develop and test this vaccine. He has reported that the vaccine has been effective with pet dogs with naturally occurring brain cancers and has allowed them to live longer than expected. There have also been positive results from a trial involving humans but the vaccine still needs time to discover if it is safe and will result in longer lives for those with cancer. https://lnkd.in/egvjBsgc
