Heartstrings
Uses music to reduce the physical, emotional and spiritual pain for hospice patients and their families. Music is provided through volunteers playing the Reverie Harp and other instruments or an individualized selection of digital music.

Pet Peace of Mind
Pets play a special role in all our lives. When patients go on hospice services, they want to know their pet will be cared for. Through this program, we can ensure that the patient and pet stay together as long as possible, and the pet will be placed in a forever home once the patient passes away.
