The VA Long Beach Healthcare System requires individuals to provide live music (piano, organ, soloist) for worship services and other special religious/spiritual activities. Music is recognized as an essential element in most worship services. VALBHS Veterans benefit greatly from this service. The Veterans are primarily residential patients and are unable to leave the grounds to attend worship services in the community. VALBHS requires individuals to provide live musical services for Protestant and Catholic Worship Services at the medical center campus-based chapel in Long Beach, CA. VALBHS also requires individuals to provide live music at Memorial Services and other special events as requested on the medical center campus. There is no requirement that the same individual play for every service.
