This spring, we gathered in both Nashville and Murfreesboro to honor the extraordinary individuals who give so much of their time, energy, and heart to Alive. Our annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheons are a small gesture of thanks for the big difference our volunteers make every day.
From comforting patients and families to sharing creative talents, administrative support, and companionship, Alive volunteers are an essential part of our mission. Their generosity of spirit helps us provide the compassionate care we’re known for—and we’re deeply grateful.
A special thank-you goes out to the Nashville Music Medics, who lit up the room with their joyful performance at our Nashville luncheon. Their music brought smiles, laughter, and a beautiful reminder of the healing power of connection.
This year, as we celebrate 50 years of caring for Middle Tennessee, we’re especially proud to recognize that it all began with volunteers. Alive began as a volunteer effort by a group of dedicated individuals who believed in a better way to care for the dying—and thanks to our volunteers, that legacy continues today.
