Who: Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt and GRAMMY Award-Winning Artist Lauren Daigle.
What: Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC)
extended the successful ‘Gratitunes’ campaign with a unique partnership
with Lauren Daigle for an exclusive
concert honoring doctors, caregivers, first responders, and patients.
Daigle recorded six songs exclusively for doctors, caregivers, first
responders, and patients at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at
Vanderbilt for a special concert event. With the help of Musicians On
Call, a nonprofit bringing live and recorded music to the bedsides of
patients in healthcare facilities, the performance was distributed to 19
pediatric hospitals across the country. These hospitals shared directly
with patients and broadcasted throughout their facilities reaching over
1,200 patients, families, and caregivers nationwide. The event included
performances of Daigle’s hit songs “You Say” and her hit single “Still
Rolling Stones”.
“We’re incredibly grateful to Lauren Daigle and all our friends in
the music industry for the outpouring of support for our staff, nurses,
doctors, patients and families, particularly during these unprecedented
times,” said Meg Rush, MD, MMHC, President of Monroe Carell Jr.
Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. “Music has always been an integral
and important part of the fabric of our hospital, with visits in person,
and now virtually, from artists like Lauren, and through organizations
like Musicians On Call. Lauren’s healing and inspiring performance
uplifted us all and brought smiles to children’s faces.”
Throughout the month of April, the Nashville community came together
to bring ‘Gratitunes’ to the medical staff at Vanderbilt University
Medical Center through performances and words of encouragement on their
personal Instagram page. The consumer-generated platform and initiative
garnered over 1,200 Gratitunes and 5,000 songs added to the playlist
that was made available to VUMC COVID-19 Assessment Sites and hospital
staff to help lessen stress and anxiety, and lift spirits.
