Johns Hopkins Children’s Center
Robert Israel’s animal sculptures form part of the building’s public-space art programme. They illustrate scale, recognisable imagery and landmarks along family arrival routes.

Institutional case summaries
Concise case summaries from the two original reports. Permanent art, interactive works and landscape design are identified separately.
These accounts document artistic and commissioning approaches. They are not additional studies of health outcomes. Source material includes institutional accounts, project descriptions and secondary reporting.
Cedars-Sinai
The collection includes indoor works and sculpture in landscaped spaces. Its institutional history is a precedent for sustained collecting, not evidence that an individual work caused neurological recovery.
Sidra Medicine
Damien Hirst’s The Miraculous Journey places a sequence of monumental bronzes on the approach to a women’s and children’s hospital.

UCSF Bayfront Medical Building
Wowhaus’s Skyhorn combines a sculptural object with a listening experience. It can be viewed passively, but sound and interaction are separate components.
Source record: R-33
Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital, NYU Langone
Donald Lipski’s Spot uses a Dalmatian balancing a taxi as a prominent entrance landmark. The artist’s intention to distract and delight should be distinguished from evaluated health outcomes.
Source record: R-34
Children’s Hospital Colorado
The source material describes outdoor sculpture, including David Hayes’s Harlequin and Christopher Weed’s Opening Doors. These are examples of campus art; proposed meanings are curatorial interpretations.
Source record: R-38
Memorial Sloan Kettering
Wordfall, by Francie Hester and Lisa Hill, incorporates a patient’s poetry in a suspended installation. Other campus projects place sculpture in outdoor terraces and gardens.
Mayo Clinic
The clinic’s collection includes Ivan Meštrović’s Man and Freedom. Its history demonstrates acquisition and long-term stewardship across changes in the hospital estate.

Eskenazi Health and Kaiser Permanente, Dublin
Rob Ley’s May/September forms the Eskenazi parking-structure facade. His Double Exposure is a different commission at Kaiser Permanente in Dublin, California. The original report conflated the two projects.
Harborview Medical Center
The King County collection at Harborview situates publicly commissioned art within a trauma-care institution. Programme objectives should be read separately from measured effects.
Source record: R-44
Stanford Medicine Children’s Health
The children’s art programme incorporates visual curiosity and playful elements. Interactive works and any facilitated activities should be identified separately from ambient viewing.
Source record: R-45
NHS memorial and community sculpture
Mount Vernon and Milton Keynes illustrate commemorative and community-oriented sculpture. Donation, remembrance and wayfinding are distinct commissioning purposes.
Children’s Health Ireland
The Dandelion Clocks and Balloon Trees use light, colour and recognisable forms at children’s facilities. CHI documents these as part of its arts programme.
Source record: UPD-07
Lurie Children’s Hospital: Crown Sky Garden
The garden combines seating, spatial design, light and interactive features. Any benefit belongs to a composite environment unless its components are separately evaluated.
Great Ormond Street Hospital
Jason Bruges Studio’s Nature Trail responds to people moving through hospital corridors. It is useful context for installed visual environments, but its responsive behaviour differs from a static mural.
Source record: CS-01 · CS-02 · Sculpture record
Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne
Alexander Knox’s Creature is a large atrium work within the hospital’s art programme. Related workshops involve art-making and should not be counted as evidence for viewing the sculpture.
Source record: CS-06 · Sculpture record
Nationwide Children’s Hospital
The themed public spaces combine fabricated trees, carved animal figures, graphics and sound. The example concerns a complete environment, not a sculpture-only intervention.
Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
The Buerger Center combines public space and landscape design. The separate Hub for Clinical Collaboration has a mural commission; these buildings and projects should not be conflated.
Jacobs Medical Center, UC San Diego Health
Jeff Koons’s Party Hat (Orange) is a prominent work in the Joan and Irwin Jacobs-supported art programme. It demonstrates institutional investment in contemporary art, without establishing a clinical effect.
Texas Medical Center district, Houston
The original report grouped works from multiple Houston institutions under MD Anderson. The district’s sculpture record is retained as broader context; individual locations must be checked against the owning institution.
Source record: CS-27
Stanford Hospital
Leo Villareal’s Buckyball is an illuminated landmark associated with Stanford Hospital. Staff references to it demonstrate recognition; they do not establish improved retention or care quality.
Burke Rehabilitation and Montefiore
Miggs Burroughs’s Signs of Compassion uses changing-viewpoint photographs. Its invitation to move is relevant to rehabilitation design, but clinical mobility gains need separate evaluation.
Karolinska University Hospital
The source material describes commissioned art within the hospital estate, including Andreas Eriksson’s work. Claims that textile works lower heart rate or clinically reduce noise are not supported by an installation-specific evaluation here.
Khoo Teck Puat Hospital
This example concerns biophilic hospital design and gardens. It is retained as environmental context, outside the core evidence for installed artworks.
Source record: CS-50
Gødstrup and Rigshospitalet, Denmark
Olafur Eliasson’s spatial works illustrate art integrated with hospital architecture. Mirror, light and geometric effects are artistic features; any psychological effects remain to be evaluated.
Woodhull Hospital, New York
Keith Haring painted at Woodhull Hospital in 1986. The original account incorrectly attached the rediscovery of a different mural in Amsterdam to this hospital work; that story has been removed.
Source record: UPD-04
Erasmus MC, Rotterdam
The hospital combines a collection with civic and museum relationships. Historical work, permanent sculpture and temporary exhibitions should be identified individually rather than treated as one clinical intervention.
