Imagine facing a life-altering health challenge and finding solace in creativity. That's the heart of Constanza Roeder's story. As a leukemia survivor, Constanza transformed her personal experience into a mission to bring joy, self-expression, and connection to patients and caregivers through her non-profit, Hearts Need Art. In this episode, Matt Gardiner sits down with Constanza to explore how art and music can be powerful tools in treatment and recovery.
