We are JoyRx, an organization dedicated to children’s emotional wellness. Since 1995, we have led the way in supporting 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 (formerly MyMusicRx) 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.
