Hospice Music Therapist Makes A Dream Become A Reality

Submitted by lhstone on

A recent Hospice patient has wanted to learn to play the guitar for the last 40 years but has never been able to due to a stroke. He had a long career as a Navy engineer.  Over several weeks, CeCe Varnum MT-BC, Hospice Music Therapist assisted him with adapting a slide (made from old medication bottle lids!) to compensate for his left-hand deficit. By helping this patient meet his musical goals, CeCe demonstrated the Carilion value of commitment. He is now able to play the guitar! Way to go CeCe!
