Music is a therapeutic enhancement to the healing process. Certified music practitioners come to the patient’s bedside and play live music that promotes healing and relaxation and reduces stress.

We are fortunate to have one music practitioner on site in Irving on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We have personal stories from patients and families about how this art has positively impacted their lives.

Benefits of music intervention:

• Normalizes blood pressure

• Calms labored or erratic breathing

• Alleviates nausea

• Relieves anxiety or stress

• Fosters a sense of safety and well-being

• Helps relieve insomnia

• Provides comfort during a stressful or painful procedure

• Supports palliative care and end-of-life transitions for patients, families and caregivers
