The Nightingale Channel: A Sound Approach to Wellness
Available when connected to City of Hope Wifi on Duarte Campus
The Nightingale Channel is a video channel of curated classical music performances, specifically with the patient experience in mind. Classical music can be beautiful, fun, sometimes curious and unusual, other times soothing and comforting, and it can be deeply moving.
In recent years, an array of studies points to the benefits on health outcomes provided by music. The preliminary research that has been done so far suggests that music-based interventions may be helpful for anxiety, depressive symptoms, and pain associated with a variety of health conditions.
Access the Nightingale Channel when you are on site at City of Hope Duarte campus.
You will need to be connected to the City of Hope WiFi network to access the channel.
