Hospice Music Therapy
The Hospice Music Therapy Program is in its 7th year of providing services to hospice and palliative care patients in Chico, Oroville, Orland, Hamilton City, and Paradise.
Anyone can request hospice music therapy services through the Fund. We have a strong collaboration with Butte Home Health and Hospice and with Enloe Health to provide hospice music therapy to our patients/clients.
North State Therapy Choir
Led by Board Certified Music Therapists, this choir for individuals with Parkinson’s Disease, their families and/or caregivers uses neurologic music therapy techniques to address Parkinsonism. We’ve been awarded several grants from the Parkinson’s Foundation to help keep our choir FREE to its participants!

Following the Camp Fire the Music Therapy Impact Fund provided group and individual music therapy to kids, teens, and adults who were affected by the fire. In addition to those directly affected, groups were also facilitated for organizations that supported the community.
