Van Elslander Cancer Center Volunteer Opportunity- David Pierson [ 5/5/2005 - 09:47 ] # We have a great opportunity to enrich the lives of others with our music. Mr. Andrew Stewart is the board certified music therapist at the Van Elslander Cancer Center in Grosse Pointe Woods. He invited me to tour the Cancer Center and see how music therapy benefits cancer patients. I was impressed to say the least. The facility is a beautiful and peaceful healing environment. Mr. Stewart would like volunteers from the MFGS to play for an hour or so a week. Andrew says, "We would love for any members of your group to come and play for the patients while they are receiving chemotherapy in the infusion center. It is a large community room in which most of the patients are patiently waiting for their IV administered treatments to complete. I am also looking to initiate a research project sometime in May this summer involving live, environmental music and the patient experience." This is not a performance opportunity, per se. Anyone who volunteers to play will be making music to be appreciated as part of the environment, not as the center of attention. Don't expect a standing ovation, but do expect to add beauty and comfort to the lives of some people who need it. You can play just one time or set up a regular scheduled time to play every week, if you like. Andrew wants to make this an easy, low pressure way to volunteer. Give him a call or email him to arrange a time to play.
