Ever watched those amazing and touching videos of non-verbal nursing home residents suddenly "lighting up" and singing along to songs from their childhood or adolescent years? Then you may have some inkling of the important role music therapy can play in the quality of a patient's life. 

Come hear world-renowned neuroscientist Dr. Petr Janata speak on Friday, January 24 at a free luncheon lecture entitled "Nurturing the Sense of Meaning in Life through Music-Evoked Remembering". We are proud of our innovation and commitment to excellent patient care through being the only organization in the area to employ a full-time certified music therapist.
