The region’s sole program blending music, arts, health care, and research to advance healing is now called Eastman Performing Arts Medicine Center. The transdisciplinary center synthesizes the resources and artistic expertise of the world-renowned Eastman School of Music with the cutting-edge treatments and scientific research at the University of Rochester Medical Center.

The newly designated virtual center provides:

- Specialized care and clinical services for artists facing acute and chronic injuries
- Soothing musical performances for patients
- Music and art therapy for patients
- A body of new scientific research

“The steady growth of Eastman Performing Arts Medicine over the last five years and its designation as a center validates the impact arts have on our health and well-being, and the University of Rochester’s place in growing this field,” says Gaelen McCormick, director of the center.
