Music and Memory Program
Barnabas Health Hospice patients find renewed joy and pleasure in rediscovering
the music that matters to them through Music & Memory - a 501c3 non-profit
organization that helps provide patients with iPods loaded with music
playlists personalized just for them.
Barnabas Health Hospice, which is sharing in a grant provided to Music
& Memory from the Health Care Foundation of New Jersey, is the first
hospice agency in New Jersey to participate in the program and to receive
a "start-up kit" of iPod Shuffles, headphones, small tabletop
speakers and gift cards to purchase music that is used to create playlists
for patients.
The program is fully funded through the generosity of donors. For information about how you can support the program, call 973-370-8134 or email megan.knight@rwjbh.org.
