Phoenix Marks the 19th City Where Musicians On Call Is Spreading The Healing Power of Music; Has Performed for Half A Million Patients, Families and Caregivers 

Musicians On Call is  a nonprofit that brings live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities. They launched their program in Phoenix, AZ with the help of multi-Platinum selling band Daughtry, who performed for Veterans at the Carl T. Hayden VA Medical Center.

To celebrate the new city launch, Daughtry, who just released their first greatest hits record entitled It’s Not Over…The Hits So Far that includes the single “Torches,” performed acoustically for patients and staff. Following the performance, Daughtry visited patients who were unable to make it to the group performance. That evening, Daughtry took the stage at “Centricity-LIVE” GE Healthcare’s annual software users conference for 2,500 of its customers and staff, where Daughtry recounted their experience with MOC delivering the healing power of music.

“I am so proud to work with GE Healthcare in partnering with Musicians On Call. Meeting Veterans who have given their time and lives for our country is such an honor,” said Daughtry. “Thank you to Musicians On Call for working to deliver the healing power of music.”

 

MOC currently brings the healing power of music to patients in New York, Miami, Nashville, Dallas, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Denver, Washington D.C., Baltimore, Denver and Atlanta. MOC has also just reached the milestone of playing for half a million patients, families and caregivers and launched its Half A Million Moments Campaign.
