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.
