Arts in Medicine
This North Texas Giving Day, help bring comfort, creativity and connection to patients and families across our Fort Worth Community.
At Baylor Scott & White, caring for the whole person means supporting emotional and spiritual well-being alongside physical health. Through Arts in Medicine programs, music, visual art and other creative experiences can ease anxiety, encourage self-expression and offer moments of peace during difficult times.
A song at the bedside can help calm a patient experiencing pain or uncertainty. Live performances and thoughtfully designed spaces can bring warmth and beauty into the hospital environment.
Our two board-certified Music Therapists use evidence-based techniques to support the emotional, cognitive, physical, and social needs of patients of all ages. Each session is tailored to a patient’s individual goals, whether that means using music to manage pain, ease anxiety, improve mood, or provide comfort at the end of life. In some cases, patients may play or write music alongside the therapist; in others, music may simply provide a sense of calm.
Last year, our two Music Therapists provided 874 patient sessions, facilitated 71 heartbeat recordings for end-of-life memory making, and created 148 heartbeat teddy bears for grieving families to help preserve deeply personal legacies for those experiencing loss.
These experiences are an important part of the care Baylor Scott & White provides—and they are made possible through philanthropy.
