    Piano Brings Arts In Healing To OHRH Lobby

    For several years, Owensboro Health Regional hospital visitors have enjoyed live music in the lobby during December. With the arrival of a permanent baby grand piano, patients, visitors, and team members can now enjoy the uplifting sound of piano melodies year-round. 

    Each year, the holiday-themed Music On Call program has been made possible with a piano on loan from H&H Music. Thanks to a collaborative partnership with Owensboro Health Foundation, Owensboro Health now has its own piano. And because it's a player piano, it can be programmed to play music even when a musician is not physically there to perform. 

    This new addition to the lobby aligns with Owensboro Health's focus on Arts in Healing, which offers patients access to music, performances and visual art to promote the healing process.

    "We're just thrilled to be able to have this here in our lobby," Debbie Zuerner, Owensboro Health Director of Community Engagement, said. "The impact on our patients, caregivers, and our providers is going to be so tremendous. It's just another piece of the journey as we bring Arts and Healing inside the walls, eventually to the patient bedside."
