Music Helps to Heal Children

Based out of New York, Musicians On Call brings live music to bed ridden children in hospitals. With the help of WXPN-FM, Pennsylvania University's public radio station, they have been booking musicians to perform in medical facilities throughout the city since 2004.

Much like the film based on a true story, Patch Adams, which featured Robin Williams (above) playing an industrious medical student who used comedy to help young ill patients, Musicians On Call has a very similar affect. Doctors state that their patients show improvement following the joy of the live performances. Visit Musicians On Call's website to see how to volunteer, donate, and other information.
