Human Touch Initiative, or HTI, is a 501 (c)3 not-for-profit organization established in 2008. Their mission is to make massage accessible for free to those in the Greater Rochester Area with a current cancer diagnosis. Their clients receive 3 oncology massage vouchers with each approved application. The vouchers are redeemable with a list of massage providers.
All of the massage providers have received additional training in oncology massage so they can be mindful of the clients current health status and give a meaningful massage. Applying for services can be done on their website. Visit the website or call if you would like to volunteer, become an oncology massage therapy provider, or support HTI through a donation.
