Strike a Chord with Hospice Patients

Do you play an instrument? Sing? Make a joyful noise? Hospice patients need musical volunteers like you. Music has been shown to reduce pain, anxiety, even high blood pressure. It helps Alzheimer's and dementia patients -- some patients who aren't able to speak much are able to sing along to songs they heard growing up, or in choir, or in church. It's a beautiful thing to witness.

Provide your time and talent to a hospice patient or to a group of residents at a facility. You really can't play or sing a wrong note (unless your piano / voice teacher is there). People are so grateful for the music. Strike a chord with everyone you meet.
