TITUSVILLE, FL. (December 6, 2022)—Parrish Medical Center is delighted to welcome healing holiday sounds with live musical guests throughout the holiday season. Recently, Parrish Medical Center hosted a small brass group from the Brevard Symphony Orchestra. Visitors, patients and medical staff alike enjoyed the harmonic sounds throughout the atrium.

A sampling of the classic seasonal songs that the Brevard Symphony Orchestra performed, included Little Drummer Boy, Walking in a Winter Wonderland, Jingle Bell Rock and Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer, to name a few.

Understanding and believing in music’s healing affects, Parrish Medical Center has made music a regular part of its healing environment for more than two decades. Live weekly music performances have been reinstated since the pandemic and are held in the medical center’s atrium near the central seating area for outpatient services and the atrium cafe. Community volunteer musicians as well as professional musicians play weekly. A beautiful baby grand piano, donated by PMC Volunteer Services, has a prominent place as well in the atrium.

“Whether it is a scheduled outpatient surgery, MRI or mammogram, having access to healing music helps to ease feelings of stress or anxiety,” said Parrish Healthcare Senior Vice President, Natalie Sellers. “We will be hosting several other holiday musical performances throughout the month of December such as Titusville Fine Arts Institute, local elementary school choral groups, volunteer pianists and other musicians,” Sellers said.

Healing Experiences For Everyone All The Time® is Parrish Healthcare’s mission and the system has served to fulfill that mission in part by providing a healing environment it has designed and created for the people and community served.
