Creative Approaches to Pastoral & Emotional Support

At the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences cooperation between the Pastoral Care department, the Medical Center Auxiliary & Volunteer department and the Healing Arts committee has resulted in a creative approach to patient pastoral and emotional support. Working together these departments have developed a pilot project to bring on board the services of a Therapeutic Harpist.

Commenting on the pilot project George Hankins Hull, director of the Pastoral Care department related “It took a significant degree of cooperation between the Pastoral Care department, the Auxiliary & Volunteer department and the Healing Arts committee to bring the Therapeutic Harpist on board. We have had a wonderful response from staff and patients for this creative and leading edge venture. This is a success story in terms of vision and cooperation to better support the emotional and spiritual of our patients. We are very happy to have secured the services of Andrea Sadler, Ph.D. as our Therapeutic Harpist for our pilot project.”

Dr. Sadler's article, Therapeutic Music and Patient Care, was recently published in the Pastoral Report.
