In recognition of World Music Therapy Week (April 10–15), we’re celebrating the powerful, everyday work of our music therapists, professionals who use music not support emotional, physical, and social well-being across the hospital.
Here, we’re highlighting Music Therapist Olivia and her work in the Emergency Department. Through environmental music therapy, Olivia helps shape the atmosphere of a space that can often feel overwhelming, bringing moments of calm and connection into the experience of being in a pediatric emergency department.
Her presence extends beyond patients and families. By inviting staff into the music, she creates a shared environment that supports everyone in the space.
These moments carry real weight. They soften the edges of the ED, support regulation, and remind us that care can be both clinical and deeply human.
