Music Rx ® soothes and delights hospitalized children, their family members and the medical professionals who care for them by infusing the hospital environment with the healing power of music. Fueled by therapeutic music specialists and highly trained volunteers, our flagship program delivers bedside music therapy, hallway performances and an interactive mobile music cart that travels through every unit of the hospital.
We use scientifically proven therapeutic benefits of music to create a soothing escape, a lively diversion and an easy way to express emotions. Our magical mobile music cart is custom-designed to hold nearly 100 specialized instruments, interactive songwriting and recording technology and karaoke alongside an iPod lending library docked and loaded with music for every age. With stereo speakers and a 30" LCD screen featuring music videos, this cart is a one-of-a-kind interactive music experience.
Our award-winning MusicRx program was launched in 1995 at two children's hospitals in Portland, Oregon and now operates in 25 units in six regional medical centers. Music Rx has expanded to Miller Children’s Hospital in Long Beach, California as well as Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA in Los Angeles, California with plans for future expansion to other U.S. cities.
