"Raise your voice to the heavens"
Join our hospice choir - Grace Notes!
AseraCare Hospice is looking for singers to offer their voices in songs of healing and comfort to those who are struggling with life and death. Singers will learn a diverse array of songs, chants, and lullabies to be sung at the patient's bedside. Singers will make visits to patients in small groups.
We are looking for musical men and women from all walks of life whether you are a trained musician or not.
Rehearsals:
The first and third Thursday nights of the month from 7-9pm at: AseraCare Hospice, 5001 American Blvd W, Suite 625 in Bloomington.
Known as "Sings" the facilities vary from St. Paul to Minneapolis locations where we are of service to hospice patients - on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month from 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
Choir members must complete all Hospice Volunteer Training and other requirements, and participate in choir rehearsals.
For information or to become a member contact:

Membership is open to all new and current AseraCare Volunteers. However, in order to meet with patients, all volunteers must complete AseraCare Companion volunteer training.

Mission Statement
AseraCare's mission is to share our passion for improving quality of life through innovative healthcare, one person, one family and one community at a time.
Description
Hospice is about living. Hospice neither hastens nor postpones death, but rather it affirms life, emphasizes dignity, and enhances the quality of the remainder of a person's life. Hospice adds life to days at a time when days can no longer be added to life.
Hospice treats the person, not the disease . . . focuses on family and friends, not just the individual . . . and emphasizes the quality of life, not the duration.
Hospice is a program of palliative and supportive services that provide physical, psychological, social and spiritual care for terminally ill persons and their families. It is a comprehensive, medically directed, team-oriented program that accentuates pain control and symptom management for patients who no longer respond to routine aggressive medical care. The focus of hospice care is palliative rather than curative in nature.
