Getting Involved
If you are interested in starting a Literature & Medicine program in your area, please contact Lizz Sinclair.
Thanks to donations to our Fund for Literature & Medicine, the Maine Humanities Council is able to offer $1,000 each to up to 10 Maine health care facilities. These grants will help support Literature & Medicine: Humanities at the Heart of Health Care® seminars in 2013. MHC support must be used to defray the cost of the facilitator stipend, and each applicant institution must agree to make its best effort to host the program again in 2014.
PLEASE READ THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS APPLICATION CAREFULLY. Hospitals / institutions applying for a grant are asked to agree to very specific terms, some of which are new. These grants are competitive. We will accept applications from any health care institution in the state. Applicants will be notified of a decision by October 15th.
Please know that when we evaluate applications we will take into consideration:
Sites that have not yet hosted Literature & Medicine are asked to read about the program on the MHC website and speak with Lizz Sinclair before applying.
