Celebrate The Healing Power of Music
Announcing WXPN Musicians On Call at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital
|
Jefferson Hospital is proud to partner with 88.5 WXPN, the listener- supported radio station of the University of Pennsylvania,
in Musicians On Call.
Musicians On Call, a nonprofit organization formed in 1999 in New York City, uses music and entertainment to promote and complement
the healing process for patients.
Musicians participate in weekly “rounds” by giving in-room performances, which may be requested by the patients themselves,
family and friends, or upon recommendation by physicians, nurses, social workers or other clinicians.
|
WXPN Musicians On Call is a free community-outreach program* to deliver the healing power of music through live early-evening
performances each Wednesday by volunteer musicians at the bedsides of Jefferson Hospital patients, and, soon, through access
to an in-house library of compact discs for our patients’ listening pleasure.
* Made possible by the generous support of WXPN Members and Business Sponsors TIAA-CREF and AstraZeneca.
Volunteers are needed to guide musicians on their future visits to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and to donate used
CDs for our patients to enjoy – call
215-955-6222.
