These classes are made possible by the GBMC HealthCare Workers Fund. To participate, when you are ready to enter the class, please visit gbmc.org/yoga and complete the waiver. Once the waiver is complete, you will be redirected to a link to enter the class - please include your first and last name when entering.

Massage
For Physicians, Nursing, & Advanced Practitioners
Thank you for the compassionate care that you provide to your patients. We know that your work is hard and you may not always take time to focus on your own wellbeing. However, you can’t pour from an empty cup – your wellness is important! This is why we are happy to provide you with one 10-minute seated massage per month, free of charge.
As part of your sign up, you will fill out a very brief medical history (standard for massage clients) which your massage therapist will review. Your massage will be at The Wellness Room, which is located on GBMC’s campus in Radiation Oncology (1st floor). Be sure to arrive on time (or even a little early) because appointments will be scheduled every 15 minutes.
Please sign up for only ONE massage slot PER DAY and only ONE PER MONTH.
Masks are required and all equipment will be cleaned between appointments.
