Since the beginning of recorded history, the arts-especially music, singing and drumming-have been used to soothe those who are ill. Research increasingly establishes the value of the arts in health care.

DooR to DooR artists choose the work they offer to patients, family, and staff based on their encounter. We believe that this attention to these individuals refreshes, rejuvenates, and inspirits them. Joy Javits established DooR to DooR in 1993 to bring music, magic, hope, and happiness to patients, staff, caregivers, and the community. Over the course of a year, nearly 200 professional performing and visual artists participate in public spaces and private rooms at the University of North Carolina Hospitals.
