A registered 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization
Artistic Hearts is a non-profit organization which was formed with a goal to create a soothing and enhancing experience for patients as they undergo dialysis treatment by allowing student volunteers to perform live for them. A fortune 500 company and one of world's largest kidney care companies has expressed a need for student volunteers to aid in music therapy.
Since Artistic Hearts volunteers are unable to physically play music at dialysis centers at this time due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they teamed up to send virtual holiday wishes to DaVita patients, staff, and healthcare workers. We hope this video can bring some cheer to everyone at DaVita this holiday season.

Chronic illness and its impact on mental health of patients is a global issue. Researchers are actively looking for music therapy as a solution to address this issue. There is enough evidence that music has healing and nurturing properties that cannot be ignored. Volunteers also gain more knowledge about kidney disease and dialysis by attending Dialysis Awareness Workshops.
