About JoyRx Music

JoyRx knows it takes more than medicine to treat cancer and serious illness. When a child is facing life’s most challenging moments, they also need emotional healing.

For over 27 years, JoyRx has delivered programs to help children and teens find their Joy. The JoyRx Music program reduces loneliness, stress, and perception of pain for children — transforming their pediatric healthcare experience — and is offered at no-cost to families and hospital partners.

Simply put: Joy makes sick kids feel better.

 

“The JoyRx Music program has provided so much joy and comfort to our patients and families when they feel their world has been flipped upside down. From live virtual concerts in the infusion room to one-on-one music sessions with a musician via iPad, JoyRx Music provides an extremely positive coping strategy, and the perfect addition to our everyday interventions during this time of social distancing.”
