Since it opened, the Center has provided services for many area hospitals, including St. David's Hospital and Warm Springs Rehabilitation Hospital, as well as facilities in Austin, San Antonio, Houston and Corpus Christi. All of the Center's therapists are certified by the Certification Board for Music Therapists.
