Music has the power to help us heal, and that’s why one Musicians on Call delivers music where it might be needed most: the hospital. This volunteer organization connects musicians with hospitals to provide live and recorded music to patients. In this episode, host Paula Felps is joined by Katy Epley, executive vice president at Musicians on Call, to learn how this program came about and how it has changed the lives of both patients and the musicians who perform for them.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The physical, emotional, and mental benefits of experiencing live music in a hospital setting.
- How this program has changed the landscape for accessing live music in the hospital.
- How to get involved with Musicians on Call.
