  The Healing Arts program at Renown Regional began in the early 1990s. Since then, a book titled "The Harvest of Lesser Burdens: Art in the Field of Medicine" was published in partnership with the Nevada Museum of Art. Renown Regional Medical Center features more than 800 works of original art, including two works in each of the 190 private patient rooms in the Tahoe Tower and 222 works of original art in the Baby & Family Suites. The program also includes regular performances at the patients' bedside on the pediatric and oncology units. Another integral component of the Healing Arts program includes Fianna's Healing Garden. The garden is comprised of fountains, streams, three sculptures by internationally known San Francisco artist, Cork Marcheschi and a flowering landscape.
