“We are proud to have brought the healing power of music to more than 675,000 people across the country, and thanks to this gift from TIAA we will be able to reach thousands more through our Bedside Performance Program,” said GRIFFIN. “Studies have shown that music can improve the patient experience in ways like alleviating pain and improving blood pressure. As we continue to expand our program, more patients, family members, and caregivers will be able to experience how music heals.” Added TIAA Pres./CEO ROGER W.

We were delighted to receive over 4,000 submissions. Each represents an inspiring story that epitomizes what it means to be a difference maker.”
