Our Mission

Music Mends Minds (MMM) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that creates musical support groups for patients with Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s, traumatic brain injury, stroke, and PTSD. These musical support groups foster a community between the musicians and singers, as well as their families, friends, and caregivers, all of whom thrive on socialization and music-making. MMM also aims to educate our community and public about the latest scientific findings regarding the benefits of music and the brain through several platforms including online and in print resources.

In loving memory,

Ed Fox

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

"As a teacher, my mother was as fiercely devoted to the young ones in her care as she was to her own children. With such an example, I am inspired to find ways to enrich her life. Singing with the 5th Dementia band makes her face light up with smiles. While I welcome any therapeutic value that music may hold, I find the greatest value is in having a place where my mother can experience joy. I’m so thankful to have found Music Mends Minds."

— Denise Davis, Daughter of Leola Davis
