class="wp-caption-text">As a musician for the Eastman Performing Arts Medicine Center (EPAM), Bob Pizzutiello ’77, ’78 (MS) plays the Chapman Stick in the lobby of Strong Memorial Hospital.</p></div> <p>“Most human beings are not monolithic,” says Bob Pizzutiello ’77, ’78 (MS), “They enjoy different perspectives.” He and his wife Mabelle Pizzutiello ’63N, P’89 support many programs at the University of Rochester, with their interests spanning the arts, sciences, and healthcare, as well as those focused on equity, diversity, and inclusion, but the <a href="https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/eastman-performance-medicine.aspx">Eastman Performing Arts Medicine Center (EPAM)</a> is one of the most unique.</p> <p>Finding intersections between music and science comes naturally for Bob who pursued a degree in electrical engineering but also made time to study the physics of music. His education at the University of Rochester allowed him to explore the interconnection between his broad interests. When he first came to Rochester in 1973, a teenage Bob had the impression that he would be done learning at the end of college. Instead, those years launched a lifelong career of discovery.</p> <p>Bob recognizes the valuable life skills that he gained at Rochester—how to think and solve problems. As a Joseph C. Wilson Scholar, Bob had the opportunity to take any course across the University, and he made the most of it. In addition to his undergraduate workload, he took classes in the School of Medicine and Dentistry, which were foundational for him and his future work.</p> <p>He credits his full scholarship for not only making it possible to pursue his education, but to find a career. At the age of 23, he completed a master’s degree, and he started his first real job at the University of Rochester Medical Center.</p> <p>Bob spent his career working in community hospitals as a medical physicist, while also bringing his learnings about physics and technology into the national discussion, as an advisor to the Food and Drug Administration. He founded and led Upstate Medical Physics, a regional practice, and was the senior vice president of Landauer Medical Physics, a national organization, collaborating with medical physicists to deliver services to individual health care facilities and larger integrated delivery networks. He is also a past president of the New York State Radiological Society.</p> </div> </div> <div class="vc_empty_space" style="height: 25px" ><span class="vc_empty_space_inner"><div class="empty_space_image" ></div> </span></div> </div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="vc_row wpb_row section grid_section" style=' text-align:left;'><div class=" section_inner clearfix"><div class='section_inner_margin clearfix'><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><blockquote class='blockquote_shortcode with_quote_icon' style='width: 500px%;border-left-width: 10px; '><span style="font-size: 32px; line-height: 32px;" class="icon_quotations_holder"><i class="mkd_icon_font_awesome fa fa-quote-left " ></i></span><h6 class='blockquote_text' style="color: #15234a;"><span>As people come into earshot of the music, I observe an astounding transformation.

Utilizing non-traditional settings such as public spaces in hospitals, waiting and family rooms, and hallways, our hospital community experiences personal and meaningful interactions with world-class musicians. Weekly public performances are held throughout the hospital public areas.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;">The University of Rochester School of Nursing is also involved in research alongside EPAM. Kathi Heffner, PhD, professor of nursing, medicine, and psychiatry, has collaborated with faculty at the Eastman School of Music to examine piano training for older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) as a brain exercise to see if it can promote emotional wellbeing, as well as ultimately slow cognitive decline in MCI.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;">To learn more about EPAM, visit <a style="color: #ffc70a;" href="https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/eastman-performance-medicine.aspx">urmc.rochester.edu/eastman-performance-medicine</a></span></p> </div> </div> <div class="vc_empty_space" style="height: 25px" ><span class="vc_empty_space_inner"><div class="empty_space_image" ></div> </span></div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="vc_row wpb_row section grid_section" style=' text-align:left;'><div class=" section_inner clearfix"><div class='section_inner_margin clearfix'><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"> <div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element vc_custom_1729781778637"> <div class="wpb_wrapper"> <p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #999999;"><strong>— Kristina Beaudett, Fall 2024</strong></span></p> </div> </div> <div class="vc_empty_space" style="height: 25px" ><span class="vc_empty_space_inner"><div class="empty_space_image" ></div> </span></div> </div></div></div></div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </article> <div class="single_tags clearfix"> <div class="tags_text"> <h5 class="single_tags_heading">Tags:</h5> <a href="https://www.rochester.edu/adv/alumni-news-media/tag/alumni/" rel="tag">Alumni</a><a href="https://www.rochester.edu/adv/alumni-news-media/tag/eastman-school-of-music/" rel="tag">Eastman School of Music</a><a href="https://www.rochester.edu/adv/alumni-news-media/tag/engineering/" rel="tag">Engineering</a><a href="https://www.rochester.edu/adv/alumni-news-media/tag/health-and-medicine/" rel="tag">Health and Medicine</a><a href="https://www.rochester.edu/adv/alumni-news-media/tag/music/" rel="tag">Music</a><a href="https://www.rochester.edu/adv/alumni-news-media/tag/son/" rel="tag">School of Nursing</a><a href="https://www.rochester.edu/adv/alumni-news-media/tag/why-i-give/" rel="tag">Why I give</a> </div> </div> <br/><br/> </div> </div> </div> </div>  </div>  <footer > <div class="footer_inner clearfix"> <div class="footer_top_holder"> <div class="footer_top"> <div class="container"> <div class="container_inner"> <div class="three_columns clearfix"> <div class="mkd_column column1"> <div class="column_inner"> <div id="text-2" class="widget widget_text"> <div class="textwidget"><p><a href="https://www.rochester.edu/alumni/contact-us">Contact Us</a><br /> <a href="https://www.rochester.edu/alumni/faqs">FAQS</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="mkd_column column2"> <div class="column_inner"> </div> </div> <div class="mkd_column column3"> <div class="column_inner"> <div id="text-3" class="widget widget_text"> <div class="textwidget"><p><a href="http://www.rochester.edu/parents/" target="_self" rel="noopener">For Parents</a><br /> <a href="https://securelb.imodules.com/s/1676/giving4/giving4.aspx?sid=1676&gid=2&pgid=2165&cid=3458&appealcode=16U28" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Make a Gift</a><br /> <a href="http://www.rochester.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Rochester</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer_bottom_holder"> <div class="footer_bottom_holder_inner"> <div class="container"> <div class="container_inner"> <div class="column_inner"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-2917298-1"></script> <script> window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
