Music Therapy at Elliot Hospital offers activities like live music making to reduce anxiety and help with coping during illness or injury. Music Therapy treatment is the use of clinical and evidence-based music interventions by a credentialed professional.
At Elliot Hospital, patients and families admitted on the pediatric unit may have the opportunity to engage in live music making during hospitalization as a way to promote activity, reduce anxiety, and help patients cope during illness or injury. Active music listening experiences may also be utilized to help promote relaxation and sleep and/or provide a calming support for patients and families. On the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Music Therapy can help support neurologic development, foster family interactions, and promote relaxation by providing live singing right at bedside.
The Music Therapy Program at Elliot Hospital is supported by the Ukulele kids club, a foundation that believes in helping hospitalized kids just be kids through the power of music. The Ukulele kids club provides a generous donation of ukuleles to the pediatric unit for use in ukulele lesson and independent patient play.
