    • Mission

    We are JoyRx, an organization dedicated to children’s emotional wellness. Since 1995, we have led the way in treating the mental well-being of kids facing significant medical journeys. Our dedicated team provides moments of joy to seriously ill children through the JoyRx Music program, where every interaction is an invitation for children to explore, engage, and play. Because when sick kids feel like kids again, their moods brighten. Anxiety and loneliness fade. Feelings of pain decrease. And the power of joy shines through — one song, one drumbeat, one child at a time.

    About Us

    JoyRx programs are designed to relieve the sadness, anxiety, and isolation kids experience during lengthy treatments and hospitalizations. Last year alone, JoyRx programs served nearly 40,000 kids and their family members across the country. These experiences give critically ill children moments of positivity and levity. We’ve seen how connections through music, friendship, and nature improve a child’s wellness. Loneliness, stress, and pain are alleviated. And children can feel like children again.
