Students raise money to purchase iPods for Alzheimer’s patients

North Garrison Heights — Henrietta Lacks Health and Bioscience High School nursing students held a fundraiser in April to buy iPods, which they will give to local residents in assisted living homes. The idea is that listening to music residents have an emotional connection to will help awaken their minds. The students raised more than $5,300, and the devices will be delivered to memory care residents at Glenwood Place Senior Living and The Quarry.
