For nearly 100 years, City of Hope’s pioneering research has brought the world closer to cures for many life-threatening diseases, from cancer to diabetes. Compassion drives our innovation. Every discovery we make, and new treatment we develop, gives patients the chance to live longer, better and more fully.

For example, four of the world’s most widely used breakthrough cancer treatment drugs are based on technology pioneered by City of Hope and these are now saving lives worldwide. To learn more about our groundbreaking work, click here

As part of our innovative research efforts, we have developed a unique music therapy program to help augment a patient’s treatment plan. City of Hope believes in the power of imagination and creative expression to heal the mind and spirit. That’s why we’ve launched the healing music therapy program to help patients cope.

For children and teens battling cancer, music therapy provides an outlet for communicating difficult emotions and coping with the rigors of treatment. The program covers a wide range of activities to ease patients’ spirits, help manage pain and make the process of recovery a little bit easier overall.

Elements include music listening, relaxation and improvisation; singing, composing and songwriting; and learning and playing a musical instrument.
