Volunteer Music Performers contribute to positive experiences for patients, families/visitors and staff of Trillium Health Partners. Those who visit our hospitals enjoy hearing our volunteers perform and it also creates a welcoming atmosphere for visitors. Volunteer Music Performers also gain satisfaction from providing music and supporting fellow volunteers, patients, families/visitors and staff’s wellbeing. CTV Toronto featured some of our remarkable Trillium Health Partner staff members who have donated their time to perform for patients, visitors and fellow colleagues.

The Steinway grand piano that resides in the hospital’s main lobby was donated by Mr. Grant Clarkson in honor of his late wife, Janet Elizabeth Clarkson so that Credit Valley’s patients, visitors, staff, physicians and volunteers would continue to enjoy its music.
