Bedside Music

Bedside Music

As part of the University of Michigan Health System’s Gifts of Art program, patients at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital have the unique opportunity to enjoy live bedside music during the hospital stay. Live music at the bedside enhances the environment of care for our patients and families by providing a pleasant distraction which can relieve anxiety and stress, induce relaxation and bring comfort. Music practitioners are available to visit patients in most units Monday through Friday.

To request a visit by a bedside musician, patients and families can call 734-936-ARTS or e-mail Julie Hussar, program coordinator. Faculty and staff can page Julie at pager # 31467.

The Gifts of Art bedside music program at Mott is made possible in part by a gift from the Bernard L. Maas Foundation.
