Music Therapy
Dana Franklin Savion is a music therapist at Reuth Rehabilitation Hospital, and her services are more in demand than ever during the Coronavirus pandemic.
In her own words, she explains: "I continue to conduct individual and group therapy sessions as much as possible within the acute care ventilator support departments. When departments are in isolation, I use zoom and video meetings. When possible, I stand against the window of the patient’s room and play music to help stimulate the patient to converse. In other instances, I build individualized music playlists on Spotify, in accordance with the wishes of the specific patient. Music has always been a medium of soothing connection, of uplifting the spirit, and touching the soul. This has never been more important than in these days of Coronavirus at Reuth."
