Patient finds mental, emotional relief through art therapy

Nancy Manuputy's nearly 3-month hospital stay has taken a huge mental and emotional toll. "It's just kind of destroyed my life for a while," said Nancy, who credits art therapy for giving her something to look forward to in the hospital. "The art therapists help get your mind off of stuff... and art is theraputic, even if you're lousy at it."
