Palliative Care & Massage Therapy

Chronically ill patients and those in end-stage diseases face difficult problems like pain management, anxiety reduction and nausea (palliative care). Under a grant from Catholic Healthcare Partners, St. Rita's Medical Center will help ease these problems with complementary therapies, such as massage therapy and reflexology. The funding will allow St. Rita's to provide services to more than 1800 patients in various areas of the hospital. Participants will measure their level of anxiety, pain and nausea on a scale of 1-10. It is hoped that following a session of massage therapy or reflexology, the patient's level of discomfort will decrease.
