The McGovern Center has many original artworks and artifacts that relate to the health care profession. Some of the resources are oil paintings, pastels, or sculptures. These art pieces were created by health care providers or by artists who used health care providers as their subject matter. Representative of these works are Doris Appel's pastels of Madame Marie Curie .

Other art work was created as part of the educational and information material provided to health care providers. An example of this type of artwork are the original drawings and subsequent prints made for the Heart Bulletin.
