Episode 170: Healing Through the Arts: A Conversation with Drs. Wizdom Powell and Myron Rolle

At the 2025 Ginsburg Institute Symposium in Orlando, themed Healing Through the Arts, the fireside chat brought together two self-described “theater kids” and leaders in children’s health: Wizdom Powell, PhD, MPH, CMHC, CEO, Unified Youth, and Myron Rolle, MD, MS, former NFL player and current pediatric neurosurgeon, Nemours Children’s Health. Together, they explore how creativity and play are essential to child development — strengthening brain architecture through neuroplasticity and supporting emotional regulation and resilience. Drawing on science, medicine and personal experience, the conversation underscores why the arts, nature and other whole-child approaches should complement traditional health care to help children thrive.Watch the episode on YouTube.Featuring: Wizdom Powell, PhD, MPH, CMHC, Chief Executive Officer, Unified YouthMyron Rolle, MD, MS, former NFL player, Pediatric Neurosurgeon, Nemours Children's HealthHost/Producer: Carol VassarViews expressed by guests do not necessarily reflect the views of the host or management.  Subscribe, review or let your voice be heard at NemoursWellBeyond.org.
