A hospital with a radio station? It's common in the U.K., but not so in the U.S., which makes the new HACKENSACK MERIDIAN HEALTH network of hospitals and medical services' LIFE YEARS AHEAD RADIO on PANDORA unusual. The new channel, launching TODAY (9/20), features rock, pop, and country hits in a custom playlist of 80 songs. The NEW JERSEY hospital chain is holding a special launch event TODAY at HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTERwith NICOLE ATKINS.
"We are so excited to be releasing our new station with our partner PANDORA,'' said HACKENSACK MERIDIAN HEALTH Co-CEO ROBERT C. GARRETT. "It's a great fit. PANDORA is a company based on innovation and personalizing the music experience, similar to how we approach our mission with the same sense of discovery and commitment to exceptional, personalized care and enhancing the quality of life in our communities.''
"One of our goals is to connect with people where they are and to be part of their daily life, even when they are not thinking about health,'' said HACKENSACK MERIDIAN HEALTH Co-CEO JOHN K. LLOYD. "Our LIFE YEARS AHEAD RADIO lets our brand personality shine through in maybe an unexpected way.''
"I am honored to be part of this unique partnership between HACKENSACK MERIDIAN HEALTH and PANDORA,'' said ATKINS. "Music helps people so much. It's good for the soul. Music and well-being -- that includes mind, body and soul -- are essential partners along the path to healing.''
