Mission Statement:
The mission of the Hospital-Based Massage Network (HBMN) is to contribute to the integration of complementary health care into mainstream medicine via directly supporting the massage and touch therapists who are actively creating or pursuing this integration through their work with the ill, the recovering, the elderly, and the dying in hospitals, medical centers, and nursing homes. The HBMN believes this work is healing (making whole) our medical system and helping patients heal more fully.

Massage therapists are helping to heal patients, staff and the entire medical system by simply and profoundly reminding people, through touch, of the place of stillness and compassion within us all — the inner spark and connection with divinity from which all healing flows. —Laura Koch, HBMN Founder & Director
