Physicians’ Photography to be Showcased in Redlands

The LLU Office of Physician Vitality is sponsoring the upcoming art exhibit, “Through a Doctor’s Lens.” The exhibit will feature photography by local physicians and will take place beginning March 28 and running through April 18 at the Redlands Art Association Gallery, 215 E. State Street, in Redlands. “Both creative and altruistic endeavors have long been known to enhance physician resilience and diminish burnout,” said Barbara Couden Hernandez, PhD, LMFT, RN, director of physician vitality. “Loma Linda University Medical Center physicians have maintained a rotating photography exhibit in the medical staff lounge for two years. The photography of ‘Through a Doctor’s Lens’ demonstrates their talent for detailed work and aesthetics that also characterizes their clinical skills.” Roughly 40 photos from 11 physicians will be showcased and available for purchase. Proceeds from exhibit sales will be used to purchase rocking chairs for the pediatric emergency department at LLUMC. Featured photographers include doctors Don and Resa Chase, Gail Stewart, Chelsea Cosand, Tait Stevens, Francis Chan, Jay Shah, Lisa Kairis, Barry Watkins, Daniel Wongworawat and Chad Burk. The Redlands Art Association Gallery is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is open to the public. Admission is free. A reception will be held at the gallery on Sunday, March 30, from 4 to 6 p.m.
