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. Although anyone can request hospice music therapy services through the Fund, we also have a strong collaboration with Butte Home Health and Hospice to provide hospice music therapy to our patients/clients.
