Is your practice struggling to grow—or simply not reflecting the level of care you provide?
Whether you’re launching a new private practice or working to improve patient volume, engagement, or retention, your space may be sending the wrong message.
At Marshall Arts MD, we help healthcare organizations and mission-driven businesses align their physical environments, visual storytelling, and educational initiatives with the level of care they deliver. Through art consulting, healthcare design strategy, and professional advisory services, we support practices and institutions seeking to create spaces—and experiences—that build trust, reduce friction, and invite connection.
Our work blends clinical insight, design strategy, and medical humanities expertise. We curate museum-quality artwork from a diverse roster of artists while also advising organizations on how art, design, and narrative shape patient experience, staff well-being, and organizational culture. The result is environments that feel intentional, restorative, and human—rather than sterile or transactional.
What if your patients were excited to visit you, kept coming back, and recommended you to others? Research shows that art in healthcare settings can improve mood, reduce stress, and even shorten hospital stays. Thoughtfully designed environments don’t just look better—they support better experiences, better outcomes, and stronger relationships.
Founded by Dr. Kayla Nixon Marshall, a Mayo Clinic–trained academic surgeon and Pratt Institute–trained art historian, Marshall Arts MD brings a rare, interdisciplinary perspective to healthcare spaces. With deep experience in medical humanities education, professional speaking, and consulting, we work with healthcare systems, academic institutions, and organizations seeking guidance at the intersection of care, culture, and design.
Whether through art consulting, educational programming, speaking engagements, or strategic advisory services, we help organizations design with intention—so clinicians can focus on care, and spaces can do meaningful work alongside them.
