Order Photos for Your Facility

Some facilities are able to fund their own projects or receive funding assistance from their internal foundations or auxiliaries and volunteer services. If you represent a facility able to fund its own project, you may contact us directly and order the photos of your choice. Please follow the instructions given below when placing your order.

  1. Contact us by email or phone to decide the quantity of photos needed for the specific area of the facility.  Minimum order is 10 photos.
  2. Select the photos from our website and send the list to Elaine by email.  Most facilities choose our standard black frames, crafted in Northern Italy, but custom frames and sizes are available upon request.  We can also send photos without frames.
  3. Although Elaine donates all her photos, we require a donation* by or on behalf of the facility to cover the expenses of photo development, framing, shipping, and handling. This donation is tax deductible.  After receiving your order, Elaine will send you a proposal for the funds needed for the project.
  4. Make your contribution payable to The Foundation for Photo/Art in Hospitals, Inc. for the amount on the proposal.  Send the check to:

Jerome Levy, M.D., Treasurer
The Foundation for Photo/Art in Hospitals, Inc.
4909 Laclede Ave., Unit 1704
St. Louis, MO  63108

  1. All donations will be gratefully acknowledged by letter.
  2. Elaine prepares the photos and ships to the health care facility by UPS.  Please allow two months from when the order is placed to delivery.
  3. Hang the photos in your facility (a small nail is required). 
  4. Often the facility organizes a dedication or inauguration of the new photo display.       

If you represent a facility with no available funds for a photo project, please contact us and, as funds become available to us, we will ship to you five beautiful nature photos as a gift from the Foundation.

*Our healing photos are more affordable than most hospital art.  Our objective is to reduce the expenses of each photo to a minimum so that more photos can be placed in more facilities. In the case of bringing healing photo art to patients, their loved ones, and health care professionals, more is better.

Quotes

“This project will not only add tremendous aesthetic enhancement to the floor, but also give every patient, their family members, and hospital staff alike the opportunity to enjoy and reflect on the beauty of nature through these photographs. I believe these photos will add an invaluable dimension to the recuperative process of each patient on the floor. The psychological benefits of being surrounded by beautiful art cannot be underscored.”
