Prescribe Joy to Seriously Ill Kids and Teens

Vicky is a cherished big sister who was born with Alagille syndrome, a rare disorder that affects the liver, heart, kidneys, and more. When Vicky’s family’s resources were strained, CCA’s Link program connected them with a Hope for the Holidays sponsorship that provided gifts, essential needs, and the ability to enjoy the holidays.

CCA’s Link program is a community network of caring people and organizations that unites local families facing serious pediatric illness with connections to local and national resources.

Other CCA programs that prescribe joy to families with seriously ill children and teens include:

• MusicRx®, CCA’s flagship music medicine program that soothes and rejuvenates hospitalized children, teens, their family members, and the medical professionals who care for them, by infusing the hospital environment with the healing power of music.
• MyMusicRx, the online extension of our original in-hospital program, where on any given day, 24/7, seriously ill kids and teens can play free online music games, explore digital instruments, record original music, and watch exclusive video greetings from their favorite artists.
• Chemo Pal® Mentor Program, an award-winning program that gives kids a trusted friend to look forward to during treatments and someone in their corner when they need it most.
• The Alexandra Ellis Caring Cabin™, a 24- acre, secluded home along the Pacific Coast which provides families of children and teens facing cancer and terminal illnesses an extraordinary place to relax and create once-in-a-lifetime memories.
