Musicians On Call brings live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities. Unlike some organizations that only work with specific illnesses, they facilitate healing from all types of sickness through the power of music. To date, over 94,000 individuals have been touched through the volunteer performances as musicians play for patients too sick to leave their rooms.

Musicians On Call has 13 weekly Bedside Performance programs in New York, 5 in Philadelphia and 3 in Nashville.

In addition to the Bedside Performance Program, they send CD Pharmacies to healthcare facilities so patients may listen to music in their beds. They have sent 143 CD Pharmacies, each packed with hundreds of CD's and discmen all over the country. Through Project Playback, a program which gives patients the chance to see their music recorded and produced, eight CDs have made by both children and adults. Patients work with professional musicians who volunteer to provide guidance and recordings are made in the hospitals.
