In 2020, Musicians On Call took its programs virtual in order to reach patients and caregivers during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 2023, volunteer guides and musicians are returning to live in-person performances at several facilities, with more scheduled to return this summer and fall. The funds you raise will go directly to supporting the recruiting, training, and onboarding of new and returning volunteer guides and musicians and is crucial to delivering healing power of music to all nine facilities.
