"J Mack is going to be an outstanding physician. He has the required strong intellect and he seems to want to help other people with every fiber of his being. For example, it is clear to us at the medical school he will ably aid the suffering with his chosen vocation of medicine, but he is also, already aiding humanity through his avocation of music. Somehow, in his 'spare time' in medical school, he created and is the heart and soul of Music is Medicine, bringing music and joy into the lives of patients in need of this latter kind of 'medicine.'"
— Jim Wagner, MD, Associate Dean for Student Affairs & Associate Professor, Internal Medicine
MUSIC IS MEDICINE is a non-profit organization that donates instruments and teaching time to teenagers being treated in children's hospitals. The search for identity, independence, and accomplishment is frequently on the mind of teenagers. Unfortunately, prolonged treatment in children's hospitals makes this search difficult, if not impossible. That's where MUSIC IS MEDICINE steps in.
MUSIC IS MEDICINE supplies these teenagers with free music lessons and makes instruments available 24/7. This gives them the opportunity to continue developing their identity, find some independence in a time of dependence, and achieve a sense of accomplishment.
Since 2008, MUSIC IS MEDICINE has been extending its reach to major children's hospitals across North Texas such as Dallas Children's Medical Center, Scottish Rite Hospital, and Cook Children's Hospital in Fort Worth. With over a dozen musicians donating their time and twice that many instruments available to patients, MUSIC IS MEDICINE strives to positively impact the patient experience for as many teens as possible.
