Music Comforts Mental Patients at Brooklyn Hospital
HAL BOYLE reports volunteers from the Red Cross bring music to 3,400 mentally ill patients at Brooklyn State Hospital. A piano, uniforms, and weekly visits soothe fears, awaken memories, and offer moments of joy amid wards of isolation. Some patients respond strongly, while others remain fearful or distant, with many likely to return after treatment.
