Hospital Partnerships

Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego, CA is a nonprofit, 520-bed pediatric-care facility dedicated to excellence in care, research and teaching.  It is the only hospital in the San Diego area dedicated exclusively to pediatric healthcare and the region’s only designated pediatric trauma center. It is a major pediatric clinical research center, working in collaboration with world-renowned institutions, including UC San Diego and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

​The hospital's Healing Arts Department has part-time musicians that spread melodies throughout all the wings, floors, and rooms in the hospital.  We are proud to partner with this department and support them through ongoing instrument donations to foster creativity, comfort, and healing for patients.  If you would like to be a part of gifting melody lap harps, ukuleles, or other instruments please view our wishlist.

Wesley Children's Hospital-Wichita, KS is the only children's hospital in the state of Kansas.  We first met with two of the hospital's wonderful child life specialists back in March 2016.  We knew upon meeting them and touring the hospital that we just had to support them.  We did some research and made connections to volunteers in the area.  Wesley Children's Hospital had no music program for their patients and now they are starting a volunteer music program and we are happy to support them.

​If you would like to be a part of gifting instruments to this hospital to support their budding music program please view our instrument wishlist.

Children's Hospital of Orange County-Orange, CA is a nonprofit 279-bed hospital.​ Over two million children across four counties count on CHOC's services—regardless of their family’s ability to pay.

​Happy Star Melodies is proud to support the music therapy program for patients at CHOC.
