Throughout his life, Dr. Robert L.A. Keeley was not only known for his medical talents in the Roanoke Valley, but his musical gifts as well. So much so that upon his death, Carilion Clinic in collaboration with the Keeley family founded a Healing Arts program. Today, Carilion Clinic offers a variety of "healing arts" resources such as artists-in-residence who provide therapeutic treatments to patients and staff. Other nonprofits are also working in this space.
