If you are looking to find wildlife and nature images for a healthcare setting, consider looking at the images created by members of NANPA. NANPA (the North American Nature Photography Association) is the key organization supporting nature photographers in America. I've been a member for several years.
Each year they hold a photo contest to showcase the skills of the members. This years contest; called NANPA Members' Showcase has some outstanding work. You can see it online by clicking here.
One thing you will appreciate is that they make contacting the photographer easy. If you see an image you like, there are links right next to it to email that photographer or to go to their website. The online "showcase" features 100 diverse photographs from some of the best nature photographers in the world.
They also have published a high-quality 96-page book that shows the winners. It is a great bargain for only $15. I think it would be a great reference to have on hand if you specify art. To learn how to order it online, click here.

wow! i just checked out the link and the images are breath-taking! I never knew of NAPNA before this blog. I'm a huge fan of photography myself and wildlife photography is one of the toughest. I would suggest that NAPNA should market this contest using a tool called http://www.myprgenie.com/healthcare. I've been using it and I think it is very affective in getting through to the right people. NAPNA will definitey increase reading base.
