The Al and Malka Green Artists' Health Centre is a facility in the Family and Community Medicine Program at the Toronto Western Hospital.

The Centre’s inter-professional team offers both medical and complementary care to professional creative and performing artists, and to students and staff at post-secondary arts institutions. The Centre's mandate includes research, education, and outreach to the arts community.
