“Music works in both magical and clinically substantiated ways in communities with rich musical traditions that span bluegrass, country, gospel, and more,” writes Taylor Sisk in a long-form piece in National Geographic about how music and health are intertwined and inextricably linked throughout the Applachian region. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The four westernmost counties of Virginia\u2013Buchanon, Dickenson, Lee, and Wise\u2013all rank near the bottom in the state in health outcomes, including higher instances of asthma, COPD, and emphysema. Black lung disease remains prevalent; most alarmingly, an advanced stage, progressive massive fibrosis appears to be on the rise.” Sisk continues, \u201cMusic reaches deep.” Throughout the region, the Sisk explores the many ways music and health are linked in service of healthier communities, physical, mentally, and emotionally. <\/p>\n
