We had a great day on Tuesday, May 12, 2026! We offered 15-minute Therapeutic Touch sessions to staff at St. Joseph's Hospital. It is our rehab, palliative and transition hospital.

We partnered with the SJCG Wellness & Recognition Committee. They did the advertising and recruited staff. It was interesting to note staff often came as a department. Every session was full! Our 5 practitioners were busy! We had people from departments as diverse as finance, food service and maintenance. Twenty-five staff members left feeling relaxed and well cared for.

St. Joseph's Hospital was a new partner for us.
