For children in the hospital, the experience can be stressful, unfamiliar, and sometimes frightening. But a group of students is working to bring comfort, creativity, and connection to young patients through art and music. Their initiative, Healing Hues and Harmonies, brings bedside creative activities to pediatric patients at University Hospital, helping children express themselves and find moments of joy during difficult times.

The student-led program highlights how creative arts can support emotional well-being and restore a sense of normalcy for children receiving medical care.

Joining us this morning are Manasvi Mamilla, Anirudh Koneru, and Advika Ventrapragada, the students behind Healing Hues and Harmonies. Good morning to all of you.
