JoyRx Music draws on the universal power of music to energize and lift spirits. Our trained musicians help children find Joy during the stressful and painful experiences related to extended hospitalizations and treatments for injured and life-threatening illness.
With kid-prescribed music medicine, our highly trained JoyRx music specialists engage children of all ages and diagnoses, allowing them to choose the musical experience that best fits their current emotional place and desired mood.
Through three modes of delivery, we reach children with in-person bedside visits (Live), virtual music sessions (Digital Live), and 24/7 on-demand music performances and lessons (On Demand).
When engaging in person, children can choose to listen to a live music session, request a song, sing along, participate in music lessons, or grab an instrument to join in — whatever feels right and brings them Joy in that moment. With our Digital Live and On Demand offerings, we can reach more children who are undergoing treatment at home or within a healthcare facility. We partner with hospital staff to integrate live music into their existing entertainment systems or through real-time, one-on-one virtual interactions. In addition, we have on-demand offerings available 24/7, with exclusive artist performances, music lessons, games, and more.
Since 1995, JoyRx Music has created Joyful music experiences for over 100,000 seriously ill kids nationally. In 2018, JoyRx Music began expanding services nationwide with additional growth planned.
