    Description

    Make a Joyful Noise for a Hospice Patient

    Share your musical talent with a hospice patient. Play bedside to help them relax or play them some funky music, golden oldies, hymns, meditative music, or Metallica - if that's what the patient wants. Music is such a powerful tool, even dementia patients who might not be able to speak coherently, can sometimes sing all the verses of the hymns or Johnny Cash songs you play.

    Must pass a background check, take a TB test, complete hospice volunteer orientation at your own rhythm, and mentor with hospice staff.
