Hospital-Based Massage Programs in Review
Data on over 100 programs and 200 colleagues for networking and supporting your case with hospital administrators

The HBMN materials were completely updated and reissued in 2007, providing the latest information about hospital programs throughout the country! What’s more, they are now available on CD in a searchable format, making them more usable than ever.

One of the most persuasive arguments you can present to administrators considering your program is to show how programs are already being implemented across the country. Programs in Review is an on-the-ground accounting of over 100 US programs you can use as models as you work toward establishing or building your hospital-based practice.
138 pages.
