On July 20th 2022 we returned to TriStar Centennial Children's Hospital to see our "kiddos" and then traveled to the Nashville Residential location of Alive Hospice for some patient visits.

During our last visit of the day we met Joseph, who was engaging, fun to talk with and just an all around great guy with a great family. Joe was quite happy to have us to sing to him, as well as include him in a group picture.

Joseph donned his hat and slid into his best Frank Sinatra pose, as well as letting us know he really enjoyed what we sang.

One of the patients we met and sung for was in the caring company of her daughter, Treva, and Treva's husband. Everyone who gathered in the room, as well as just outside the door, was genuinely touched and appreciative of the “gift” we try to give through our music. Treva graciously consented to a photo memory as we all gathered around her Mother before we left the room. Treva's eyes and gentle touch communicate the tenderness and compassion.

We were greeted warmly by Mary Bueche, CCLS, who quickly became part of the Music Medics family with her warm and cheery personality. Mary took the time to make every child feel special, paving the way for the Medics to do what we do best - bring smiles to the “kiddos,” and their parents' faces.
