Music is believed to help heal the sick and inspire the soul. In fact, the healing power of music is swiftly gaining acceptance in modern health care with music therapy commonly used to complement neurologic rehabilitation therapies and alleviate chronic pain and anxiety. Inspired by the success of music therapy, Mount Sinai Hospital Chicago, a member of Sinai Health System, launched a new philanthropic initiative – Sounds of Sinai – which is dedicated to improving care for patients.

The goal of the Sounds of Sinai philanthropic effort is to raise funds for the hospital through the expression of music. Musical artists, celebrities, kids, parents, bands, church and / or school choirs and other members of the Chicago community can create and upload their personal musical performance to www.SoundsofSinai.org, donate to the cause and commission friends and family members to support their music, and the hospital, by pledging donation dollars.
