Sam's Fans Currently Partners with 7 Hospitals
Nationwide Children's Hospital
Outpatient music therapy
Sam's Fans partnership with Nationwide Children's Hospital consists of funding an outpatient music therapist who works in Hospice and Palliative Care. This is a unique position that is not seen often in other hospitals. NCH was able to start this work thanks to funding coming from Sam's Fans!
Akron Children's Hospital

Sam's Fans partnership with Akron Children's Hospital is in support of the Emily Cooper Welty Expressive Therapy Center.

The artist-in-residence program works bedside and in small group settings with children and their families, including siblings, who are served by Akron Children’s Hospital.
