The Canmore & Area Health Care Foundation supports several incredible programs at the Canmore General Hospital through funding and spreading awareness. Among these programs is the newly named Crossway Music Therapy Program.
The Crossway Music Therapy Program is offered to Golden Eagle View Long-Term Care residents, individuals who live at the Canmore General Hospital full-time.

Music has the power to heal, uplift, and transport us to destinations in time, place, and feeling that we may otherwise be unable to access.
