Dallas hospital uses music therapy to help heal stroke patients

The Music Therapy Program at the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas integrates music into stroke patients’ healing process to help patients relax after stroke. It is also a way to help meet health targets set by patients’ speech therapists. The targets are cognition-related and help with the patient’s ability to speak and think after stroke.
