Music Therapy Volunteer

A familiar song can spark a memory, bring a smile, and provide comfort when words are hard to find.

Gentiva Hospice is seeking Music Volunteers in St. Francois County who would like to share their love of music with patients receiving hospice care. Whether you sing, play an instrument, or simply enjoy sharing music with others, you can help create meaningful moments of joy, peace, and connection.

Volunteer visits take place in nursing homes and assisted living communities. We work with your comfort level and availability, making it easy to fit volunteering into your schedule.

Ways You Can Make a Difference

• Sing favorite songs for patients
