The Problem

Patients in hospitals often experience isolation, anxiety, and emotional distress, and there is a lack of consistent, human-centered support like live music to bring comfort, connection, and a sense of calm during treatment.

Our Plan

Arturo Healing Hearts is a youth-led healthcare initiative bringing live music into hospitals, aligned with the global Roots & Shoots movement of the Jane Goodall Institute. Our mission is to bring live, solo instrumental music into hospitals through a network of student musicians, creating moments of peace, comfort, and connection for patients and their families during some of the most difficult times in their lives.
