At JoyRx, we know that every moment is precious for seriously ill children and their families. Founded in 1995 by the Ellis family after the death of their daughter Alexandra to cancer, JoyRx delivers programs that improve mental and emotional wellness for kids and teens as they deal with the effects of illness.  

Offered at no cost to families and hospital partners, JoyRx Music brings comfort and Joy to hospitalized children through the power of live music.

Our highly trained JoyRx musicians engage children of all ages and diagnoses, allowing them to choose the musical experience that best fits their current emotional place and desired mood. Our kid-prescribed music programming reduces loneliness, stress, isolation, and the perception of pain for children.

Simply put: Joy makes sick kids feel better.
