Do you sing or play an instrument?

Provide the comforting presence of music at bedside for patients who are receiving end-of-life care. Be part of the hospice care team, to join the physician, nurse, social worker and chaplain in providing comfort and support. Soft voiced instruments such as guitar, flute, harp, piano, violin and cello provide soothing presence as does unaccompanied voice. The goal is to meet with the patient in their home or facility where they live to provide music once a week or once every two weeks. The schedule is flexible and based upon your availability. No physical care of the patient is involved.

Our training program format will allow candidates to complete some of the required training thru an online program at your convenience and provide additional times and locations for the in-person training component.Note: Volunteers are asked to wait one year after the death of a family member or friend before volunteering.
