Glennon Golf Classic

When used in a pediatric hospital setting, music therapy can reduce stress and anxiety, alleviate pain, promote relaxation and increase self-esteem. Our full-time board-certified music therapists use evidence-based interventions, bringing the joy and healing power of music to patients of all ages dealing with a variety of medical challenges, including kidney dialysis, bone marrow transplants, eating disorders, traumatic injuries and other complex issues. Many of the children they interact with come away from their sessions calmer, in better spirits and filled with hope, sometimes for the first time since their diagnosis or injury. In addition, music therapy helps children cope better with their illness and treatment and enables their parents to bond with them in a unique way. All proceeds from this year’s Glennon Golf Classic will benefit Music Therapy at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital.
