through Frontline Valentines initiative
NASHVILLE – Musicians On Call (MOC), a nonprofit that brings live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities, partnered with country and pop music favorites including Adam Hambrick, Andrew Jannakos, Catie Offerman, Jamie O’Neal, Jillian Jacqueline, Jon Pardi, Laci Kaye Booth, Leigh Nash, Mitchell Tenpenny, Tyler Booth, Jameson Rodgers, Drew Green, Jaden Hamilton, Joey Hendricks, Chris Bandi, Elle Winter, Bobby Rush, Dom Flemons, Taryn Pap, Tenille Townes and more to send extra love and thanks to frontline caregivers in hospitals across the country for Valentine’s Day. As part of the Frontline Valentines initiative, these artists recorded dedications especially for healthcare workers to say thank you for their continued sacrifices during the pandemic. Townes and Jacqueline also performed virtually for hospital workers at Children’s Health in Dallas and Alive Hospice in Nashville respectively. The performances were possible through MOC’s Virtual Bedside Performance Program.
“All year long Musicians On Call is proud to show how grateful we are for the sacrifices of our hardworking caregivers by sharing the joys of live music. The care they show their communities every day is inspiring, and for that reason we wanted to make sure they felt extra special this Valentine’s Day. Thanks to the support of these talented artists and committed brand partners, we can lift them up and brighten their day,” said Musicians On Call President & CEO Pete Griffin.
As part of the Frontline Valentines initiative, Musicians On Call worked with national brand partners including Crocs, Kendra Scott and Bose to send surprise gifts to deserving caregivers nationwide. MOC also worked with the American Hospital Association (AHA) to send messages and songs of gratitude to hospital workers at AHA’s network of 5,000 member hospitals and health systems nationwide as part of the Forever Grateful campaign.
For more than 20 years Musicians On Call has used music to promote and complement the healing process through programs including the Bedside Performance Program, Virtual Bedside Performance Program and Music Pharmacy. As the nation’s leading provider of live music in hospitals, MOC’s Bedside Performance Program and Virtual Program have reached more than 900,000 individuals in healthcare facilities nationwide.
