Hospice Music Therapist
About The Position
Phoenix is seeking a Hospice Music Therapist to serve patients in Joplin, Missouri, and surrounding areas. Music therapy in hospice care uses music to address the physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual needs of people facing the end of life, as well as the needs of their families. The therapist assesses patients, develops personalized treatment plans, and provides music therapy sessions to help manage pain, reduce anxiety, and improve mood.

Phoenix describes its mission as offering new beginnings and meaningful opportunities to caregivers and clinicians while providing home care services built on innovation, skill, and Christ-like values of compassion, honesty, and patience.
