On Monday, the "Music on Call" program officially started at Owensboro Health Regional Hospital. It's a wonderful initiative that provides a much-needed musical escape for patients during their stay. The atmosphere is filled with the soothing sounds of the symphony, creating a calming environment that can aid in the healing process.
Patients have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the beauty of music right from their hospital rooms. This not only brings them joy but also helps to alleviate some of the stress and discomfort associated with being in the hospital.
December 13 brings two special performances. At 11 a.m. at Owensboro Health Twin Lakes Medical Center, the symphony will fill the air with its enchanting melodies. The performance at 2 p.m. at Owensboro Health Muhlenberg Community Hospital will also be a treat for the ears, offering a moment of respite for the patients and staff.
These special performances are a testament to the power of music to connect and bring comfort. They showcase the Owensboro Symphony's dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of those in need.
In addition to the in-person performances, several shows will be broadcast on Owensboro Health Regional Hospital's in-house television system. This allows patients who may not be able to attend the live performances to still enjoy the music from the comfort of their rooms.
The broadcasted performances reach a wider audience and ensure that the healing power of music can touch the lives of even more people. It's a convenient way to bring the symphony to those who may be unable to leave their beds.
"Music on Call" is not just about providing entertainment; it's a community engagement arts program that enhances lives and offers a musical experience that supports health and well-being. The symphony's music has a profound impact on the emotional and mental state of patients, helping them to cope with their challenges.
Funded by the Owensboro Health Health Investments Grant Program, this program is able to continue its important work. It shows the commitment of both the Owensboro Symphony and Owensboro Health to improving the lives of the community.
