Massage Therapist brings comfort, peace, and relief to oncology patients

IU Health Simon Cancer Center

Michelle Bailey's training as an oncology massage therapist is part of what sets IU Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center apart as a comprehensive cancer center. "The thing I enjoy most about oncology massage is I can take my skills into a setting where a patient may really be struggling... and I can walk in and... meet them where they are and then apply the skill set that I have to offer and then the patient completely shifts and changes. That's what I love the most. That's what drives me to come to work every day."
