Musical Vitamins

Musical vitamins - Is the live music program that started in 2016 at the request of the nurses of the Oncology Day Hospital of the S. Anna Hospital in Turin, the largest hospital dedicated to women in Europe. More than 400 events have been organized by the Medicina a Misura di Donna Foundation in collaboration with thirteen cultural institutions, over 225 artists, with a daily program. They are entertaining visitors while waiting, improving the waiting time, they accompany women during oncological therapies, such as chemotherapy and they welcome new-borns. Since 2017, thanks to the massive mobilization of the Turin jazz community, it has been enriched with a dedicated review. The program is part of the interdisciplinary platform “Art, Health and Social Change”. It is followed and evaluated with periodic qualitative analyzes - focus groups and wellbeing questionnaires - by researcher Sandy Ghirardi (prof. Pier Luigi Sacco - IULM University of Milan).
