A History of Hospice
The New York Times chronicles the history of hospice in the United States, and mentions that many hospice programs utilize massage therapists.
Now those final moments are a focus of new attention as hospices broaden their range of services, inspired by a growing body of research on the very end of life. More are encouraging the calming properties of music, meditation, aromatherapy and massage for both patients and families. Some are increasing the training for so-called 11th-hour companions who families can request be with them.
