WXPN MOC Expands to Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation

WXPN Musicians On Call has expanded its live music programs to Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation, bringing the healing power of music to patients, families, and caregivers throughout rehabilitation and recovery. The new program marks the 10th healthcare facility served in the Greater Philadelphia region through the longstanding partnership between WXPN and Musicians On Call, and the first rehabilitation hospital in the area to host regular MOC performances.

To celebrate the launch, South Philadelphia native Adam Weiner, frontman of rock band Low Cut Connie, performed an intimate set for patients and caregivers before making several room-to-room bedside visits, demonstrating firsthand how live music can enhance the patient experience in healthcare settings.

While we have spent more than two decades bringing the healing power of music to hospitals across the region, expanding into a dedicated rehabilitation setting allows us to support patients in an entirely new way. Rehab patients often face a long, demanding road to recovery, making the emotional and mental benefits of live music incredibly impactful. Pete Griffin, MOC President and CEO

“We are proud to partner with Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation to fill this unique need, and we are grateful to WXPN for its longstanding partnership and commitment to helping us bring live music to patients throughout the Greater Philadelphia area. Together, we’re ensuring that patients and their caregivers have an uplifting, harmonious environment to support them every step of the way.”

Registration is now open for the annual WXPN 5k Run for Musicians On Call on October 18. Community members can run the 5k or walk a “funky mile” in person or virtually, with proceeds supporting local WXPN Musicians On Call programs, including the newly launched program at Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation. Information for the WXPN 5k Run for Musicians On Call is available at wx.pn/5krun.

WXPN Musicians On Call volunteers have delivered live music experiences to nearly 163,000 patients, family members, and caregivers across the Greater Philadelphia region, including healthcare facilities in southeastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and northern Delaware. The addition of Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation extends those services to rehabilitation patients, furthering the program’s mission to use the healing power of music to support patients and families throughout treatment, recovery, and healing.
