Our Mission: To Bring Live Music to Every Patient, Everywhere.

Bringing Live Musical Memories to Hospice & Hospitals

Harmony & Healing is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for patients in healthcare facilities through the healing power of live music. We partner with hospitals, hospices, VA centers, and other long-term care facilities to provide professional, no-cost musical performances that soothe, uplift, and create moments of connection for patients, their families, and the staff who care for them.

We believe that music is not just entertainment; it is an essential component of compassionate care. Our scalable, facility-focused model allows us to bring this vital service to the greatest number of people in the most efficient and impactful way.

The Spark of an Idea: From Arena Rock to Hospital Halls

As a former guitarist and vocalist for the platinum-selling band BOSTON, I was used to seeing music transport thousands of people at once. But it was a small, intimate performance at a children’s hospital that truly opened my eyes to the profound, one-on-one power of music.

I saw how a single song could cut through the clinical environment and bring a moment of peace to a child, and a moment of respite to their worried parents. The feedback was immediate and powerful: “Could you play for the patient in the next room?”

I realized that while the desire for this connection was universal, a one-on-one model could never scale to meet the immense need. The true challenge was to build a system that could bring this healing experience to every patient. That’s when the idea for Harmony & Healing was born: a professional, reliable, and scalable organization that partners directly with healthcare facilities to integrate live music into their patient care programs.

Our Model: A Partnership in Healing

We have designed our program to be a seamless, no-cost, and high-impact addition to your facility’s patient experience. We handle all logistics, from musician vetting and scheduling to delivering the highest-quality audio and video for virtual performances.

How It Works for Our Facility Partners:

1. Request & Onboarding: Facility administrators or activities directors reach out to us to express interest. We have a simple onboarding process to understand your needs, patient population, and scheduling preferences.
2. Customized Scheduling: We work with you to establish a regular performance schedule—whether it’s weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly—that fits seamlessly into your facility’s calendar.
3. Professional Performances: Our roster of world-class, professional musicians delivers live performances, either in-person at your facility or virtually via high-quality Zoom sessions that can be broadcast to multiple rooms at once.
4. Ongoing Partnership: We gather feedback, adjust programming, and work with you as a long-term partner dedicated to enhancing the well-being of your patients and staff.

The Benefits for Your Facility:

• Enhanced Patient Experience: Music has been shown to lower stress, reduce anxiety, and provide a powerful, positive distraction from pain and treatment.
• Improved Staff Morale: Our performances bring a welcome change of pace for hardworking clinical staff, creating a more positive and less stressful environment for everyone.
• No Cost, No Hassle: Our services are always 100% free to our partner facilities, funded entirely by generous donors and sponsors. We manage all musician coordination and technical aspects.
• Scalable & Flexible: Our model allows us to serve a single ward or an entire hospital, through in-person visits or facility-wide virtual broadcasts.
