Music therapy: A healing rhythm for patients
Music can really strike a chord with young patients.
In this video, a certified Music Therapist at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital shares how music helps people feel “note-ably” better.
March is Music Therapy Awareness Month. Music Therapy, part of the Mosaic Child Life Program funded by JPCHF, helps patients and their families gain physical and emotional healing and wellness.
This compassionate care is an example of the SHA’s CARES values (compassion, accountability, respect, equity, and safety), specifically highlighting the values of respect and equity by involving a patient’s cultural music, family tradition and story into their hospital stay.
Certified Music Therapist Ruth Eliason says using music with patients like Logan Neufeld is a way to communicate care.
