Dec. 14—If you have visited Owensboro Health Regional Hospital this month, there's a chance you've seen or heard Dr. Diane Earle playing the piano in the facility's lobby — which is something she's done for nearly a decade as part of Owensboro Symphony and Owensboro Health's partnership program, "Music on Call."

The program, made possible through OH's Community Health Investments Grant Program for the past eight years as part of the health system's "Arts in Healing" initiative, was designed to "enhance and transform lives and bring hope and comfort to people who are experiencing challenging circumstances."
