In the bustling heart of Mount Sinai’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), a groundbreaking project is unfolding, one that promises to change the lives of our tiniest and most vulnerable patients. This initiative, supported by a generous gift from TMCity Foundation, aims to explore the profound impact of “song of kin” on the respiratory function of preterm babies.

“This funding enables our team to advance research that explores how parent-supported music therapy can strengthen respiratory function and neurodevelopment in our most vulnerable infants,” says Joanne Loewy, DA, LCAT, MT-BC, Director of the Louis Armstrong Center for Music and Medicine, and co-leader of the project.

This practice is not just about babies. Such interventions have been shown to reduce parental stress and anxiety, help families transition the infant home from the NICU, and provide valuable insights for NICU staff to incorporate these interventions into routine care.
