The Vaden Poster Series is a series of Vaden Health Center exhibits featured in the lobby of the Health Center and on the web. Original art is complemented by web-based information to deepen understanding of health issues that are of particular interest to Stanford students. These exhibits were made possible by a grant from The California Endowment.

We encourage you to learn more about these complementary healing traditions. The links to the right of the page will lead you to some interesting Websites that express a wide range of viewpoints.

Consider drawing upon these practices in your personal healing. They offer an abundance of healing wisdom, gleaned from many cultures that are represented in the Stanford community.

Appreciation of these traditions will contribute to the strength of our diverse campus, by helping us to understand our different origins and to value our basic commonality. In addition, we hope that your exploration of these healing traditions will prompt individual action on the path toward greater tolerance and world peace. This is the first in a series of Vaden Health Center exhibits. Original art is complemented by web-based information to deepen understanding of health issues particularly of interest to Stanford University students.
