March 27 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Music is an art form that has the power to help soothe, inspire and prompt a range of memories. It can also be used to unite people, as well as help facilitate better communication and reconciliation. We will be highlighting the amazing history of the VA music therapy program that began in 1945 for WWII veterans. We will also have a live performance highlighting the music therapy program at MJHS and how it has benefited our veteran patients.
