Children's Medical Center is a private, not-for-profit, pediatric healthcare providers and only academic healthcare facility in North Texas dedicated exclusively to the comprehensive care of children from birth to age 18. Children's provides patient care ranging from simple eye exams to specialized treatment in areas such as heart disease, hematology-oncology and cystic fibrosis. In addition, Children's is a major pediatric kidney, liver, intestine, heart and bone marrow transplant center.
Hospitalization can be frightening for children and families who may feel that they lack control in these unfamiliar surroundings. Music therapy sessions at Children’s Health are designed to help patients and their families cope with hospitalization and improve their physical, psychological, and emotional wellbeing.
In the 1990s, Children’s was one of the first hospital to offer music therapy, reflecting a belief in a holistic approach to treatment that acknowledges the importance of addressing patients’ emotions. Drawing on the universal language, music therapists are often able to communicate with patients in ways that other therapists cannot.
The therapists and patients say this song best represents the positive impact music has on healing. Take a look and share with your friends!
