Music Therapy : A Valuable Adjunct in the Oncology Setting

Posted on February 20, 2014 Updated on February 24, 2014

Here we have a well-written overview of the many ways Music Therapy can be beneficial in the oncology setting. SLU’s very own Susan Mahon, RN, DNSc, AOCN®, APNG is credited for this informative explanation. It’s a quick read, and very useful if providing Music Therapy examples for potential clients, new students, or prospective employers.

Symphony Mondays – Continued!!

Posted on February 12, 2014 Updated on February 12, 2014

We are excited to continue our 3rd season with the Saint Louis Symphony! Thanks to their generous and ‘harmonious’ partnership with us at SLU Cancer Center, we are lucky enough to host Saint Louis Symphony performances in our Outpatient Infusion Clinic. These talented musicians volunteer their time to provide our infusion patients with a unique and rewarding experience during an otherwise unpleasant treatment. Symphony players perform in duos, arranging music from Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and even Modern composers to enhance patient relaxation and enrich their sensory stimulation. Patients, caregivers, and staff nurses alike are ‘infused’ with the healing power of the dynamic and emotive music – A classy cure for any “Case of the Mondays.”

– Saint Louis Symphony Performances @ The SLU Cancer Center are funded by
The League of American Orchestras Getty Education and Community Investment Grant.
