Vets, Pets & Music Fest

This one-of-a-kind fundraising event brings awareness to and supports our veteran, Pet Peace of Mind®, Pet Therapy and music therapy programs in Nassau County.
Community Hospice & Palliative Care is an innovative national leader in palliative and hospice care. But did you know that many of the programs and services available to our patients and families are often unfunded or underfunded by insurance? Just a few of these impactful “extras” include:
Honoring Veterans: Through specialized pinning ceremonies and the display of service branch flags outside their rooms in our inpatient centers, we pay tribute to veterans and their families.
Pet Peace of Mind Program: This program provides a structured support system that helps our patients keep their beloved pets with them as long as possible. It also assists with boarding and adoption costs when necessary, after a patient passes.
Pet Therapy: Our Pet Therapy volunteer teams visit patients providing benefits such as reduced stress, increased sensory stimulation and relief from pain.
Professional Music Therapy: Our two full-time music therapists offer personalized musical sessions, bringing comfort and joy to patients and families during difficult times.
The Vets, Pets & Music Fest supports these very meaningful programs.
With your help, Community Hospice & Palliative Care can continue to provide our patients with compassionate care (and the “extras”) that will enhance their quality of life and time with family.
