Valley Hospice Foundation supports the care and comfort of individuals in hospice or palliative care as they approach their end of life. Non-medical programs and services enhance physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual well-being – not only for the individual, but also for those who love and care for them during this journey.

Please click on the link and see our Fall/Winter Newsletter. This month’s blog post comes from Jennifer Buchanan who is an accomplished Music Therapist based in Calgary. When I was in school at Acadia, Jennifer did a presentation to the School of Music and told us this story. With informed consent, she wrote this blog of a patients’ experience with music therapy in hospice. While I have not done anything quite like this, I have experienced many moments at Valley Hospice of a similar flavour. I hope you enjoy this moving story.
