The art gallery at Berger Hospital is the result of a partnership between ArtsaRound and Berger Health System. ArtsaRound is a community based organization dedicated to supporting art and artists in Pickaway County and the regional area. Berger Health System is a community based health care system dedicated to providing quality care so that people do not need to travel outside of their own backyard to have their health care needs met.

The mission of the ArtsaRound Gallery at Berger is to foster the relationship between art and healing by providing a venue for artists, primarily from, but not limited to, Pickaway County and the regional area, to offer their work for the aesthetic pleasure of patients, visitors, and staff. The initiatives of this unique program also contribute to the success of Berger Hospital's mission "to be the best community hospital in the State of Ohio."
