Hospice Savannah's Massage Therapy

Therapeutic massage is offered to the patient and family to meet those needs. Massage can be done both in the home and in our inpatient facility. Our massage therapist is specially trained in palliative techniques to meet the comfort needs of Hospice Savannah patients.
