An agreement with Memora Serveis Funeraris has
made it possible to continue the musical-therapy
project in the Palliative Care Unit. The aims of using
music for therapeutic purposes include improving

and more modern dimension to clinical activity. It
helps to provide wellbeing in the last days of life
and contributes to reducing anxiety, organizing
memories and managing pain and emotions.

affects the wellbeing of patients.

“Entering the world of palliative care
was a tremendous experience for me
and, despite the impression you might
have of it, it is a celebration of life.
The patients I visit give me much more
than I give them and I have felt very
comfortable with them from the first
day.”
