In a press release, Dr. Francois explained why he thinks music matters, for patients and anyone else in need of some kind of healing. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs health care professionals, we spend our careers helping our patients with medicine, pills and surgery,\u201d Dr. Francois said. \u201cWhile medicine goes far, music simply heals us in ways that medicine can\u2019t. We are honored to be in a position to use both music and medicine in the fight against COVID-19.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tracklist for <em>Music Is Medicine<\/em>:<\/p>\n<p>John Lennon\u2019s \u201cImagine\u201d<br \/>Bill Withers\u2019 \u201cLean on Me\u201d<br \/>Andra Day\u2019s \u201cRise Up\u201d<br \/>Mike Yung\u2019s \u201cAlright\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"photo\" id=\"5921df78\">\n<div class=\"deferred_content\"> <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;img&quot;}\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/IMG-4871-1587143547.jpg?quality=0.85&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=480\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/IMG-4871-1587143547.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=481 481w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/IMG-4871-1587143547.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=660 660w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/IMG-4871-1587143547.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=768 768w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/IMG-4871-1587143547.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=980 980w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/IMG-4871-1587143547.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=1200 1200w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/IMG-4871-1587143547.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=1500 1500w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/IMG-4871-1587143547.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=1800 1800w\" title=\"IMG-4871\" class=\" js-srcset-img shortcode-image portrait\" alt><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"photocredit\"> Courtesy of Dr. Elvis Records <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author\">\n<div class=\"description\"> Alison makes her living loving country music.
