Our Mission

​

Beyond the Diagnosis unites art and science to bridge the knowledge gap in healthcare, promote inclusivity, and raise awareness for children living with life-altering diseases. Artists paint portraits of these children; the portraits then become part of a traveling exhibit for medical schools, research institutes, hospitals, galleries, and museums. Our Beyond the Diagnosis art exhibit was first unveiled at Brown University's Alpert Medical School for the entire month of February 2015.

 

Since the debut, Beyond the Diagnosis has visited the NIH, Broad Institute, Hofstra Medical, Harvard Medical, the FDA, and many more.

​

Our Beyond the Diagnosis art exhibit has been featured in articles in the Boston Globe, STAT News, the Rhode Island Medical Journal, and many more. We were also a featured story on CBS Sunday Morning with 7 million viewers. In October of 2018, we were featured in the Lancet, a weekly peer-reviewed general medical journal. It is among the world's oldest, most prestigious, and best known general medical journals, reaching millions of physicians worldwide.

 

The exhibit currently consists of 150 portraits representing children living with life-altering diseases. Beyond the Diagnosis continues to educate the medical community improving patient care and health outcomes, raise public awareness encouraging inclusivity, understanding, and compassion toward children affected by life-altering conditions, and empower families by fostering a sense of community and belonging.

Beyond the Diagnosis is honored to raise awareness of the following diseases:
