New music program at Mercy Health - St. Rita's

Music therapy has been recognized as an effective form of reducing anxiety and stress. For example, many studies have supported the findings of listening to music prior to a surgery because it reduces the need for using sedative medication.

Now, musicians from the community can help provide comfort and healing to patients and all those who enter the doors of Mercy Health – St. Rita’s Medical Center. It is all thanks to a donation from St. Rita’s Volunteer/Auxiliary Resources; a baby grand piano now resides in the lobby of the facility.
