Sound Health at UW Hospitals and Clinics
UW-Madison graduate Mary Perkinson (DMA '11, Teachers Certificate '07, MM '05) founded Sound Health in 2009. The mission of Sound Health is to enrich the UW Hospital environment for patients, families, health care providers and staff through live music while providing music students with an opportunity for community service and professional performing experience.
Outcomes
The award winning program has received media recognition and serves as a model for current students and alumni. Recently Sound Health received a grant from the UW Hospitals and Clinics for the inaugural 2012 summer series. Sound Health is sustained until May 2013 and DMA candidate and current administrator, Melody Ng, is applying for additional funding.
