The Villager Newspaper Online Your Community News – Cleveland's Westshore
From University Hospitals Connor Integrative Health Network
WHAT: The music therapy team from UH Connor Integrative Health Network will hold a full day of continuous live music on a virtual platform as a gift to caregivers, patients and the community. Music therapists from across the University Hospitals system will perform during 17 separate, hour-long, unique sets of uplifting and comforting holiday music.
WHY: 2020 has been a stressful year, especially for people struggling with health issues and those caring for them. Studies support the positive effects of music therapy on mood and quality of life. Specifically, music therapy is proven to be effective at promoting positive thinking, reducing anxiety and alleviating stress. While we won’t be holding our annual in-person concert at UH Cleveland Medical Center, we wanted to provide this musical gift for our patients, caregivers and the community. Anyone is welcome to log on and listen in.
WHEN: Friday, December 18, 7:00 a.m. – midnight
WHERE: ZOOM / Meeting ID: 921 3500 6093 / Password: Melody20
MORE INFORMATION: Please see the attached flyer for full agenda. Please contact us if you are interested in interviewing a music therapist about the event.

Integrative health affirms the importance of the relationship between the patient and care provider and focuses on the whole person. It makes use of all appropriate therapeutic and lifestyle approaches, healthcare professionals and disciplines to achieve optimal health and healing. The benefits of integrative health have grown as patients and traditional health care providers embrace non-pharmacologic treatment approaches, especially in light of the nation’s opioid epidemic.
