We Stand For Care

A team of musicians are always available to play music for patients of Stanford Hospital & Clinics and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. Thanks to generous donors the music is free.

The six musicians are harpists Verlene Schermer, Barbary Grant, Pamela Bowen and Barbra Telynor, and guitarists Jeff Buenz and Jim Nichols.

They play whatever is requested, including Celtic, pop, classical or bluegrass. Grant’s signature is Bach’s “Prelude in C” and Schermer’s hits include “What A Wonderful World,” “Wind Beneath My Wings” and “Stand By Me.”

Sometimes the referrals come from nurses and other house staff. This small touch makes a big difference in the overall patient care.
