At The Wege Institute for Mind, Body and Spirit, we offer a wide variety of music therapies that are designed to promote wellness and address stress management, pain management and physical rehabilitation. Music Therapy is a highly regarded health care therapy that applies the curative affects of music to the physical, emotional, cognitive, spiritual and social needs of individuals. This therapy is known to improve the life quality of individuals from all age groups, meeting the needs of both children and adults with disabilities or illnesses.

Our music therapists are prepared to create experiences that are customized to the patient’s exact needs, regardless of the ability to play instruments. Music therapy services are available free of charge from Monday through Thursday, 1-5 p.m. in all areas of Saint Mary’s Hospital, including The Lacks Cancer Center.
