Bluegrass Care Navigators is seeking volunteers to provide respite care at the Greg & Noreen Wells Bluegrass Hospice Care Center in Hazard.

Your time can offer comfort, relief, and support to those who need it. To learn more, contact Karen Back, Hazard Volunteer and Community Liaison, at 606.272.1912 or [email protected].

Supporting Well-Being Through Integrative Medicine 💙

At Bluegrass Care Navigators, our Integrative Medicine program brings complementary therapies alongside traditional medical care to support patients and families facing serious illness. Through services such as music therapy, art therapy, massage therapy, and animal-assisted therapy, we help promote comfort, connection, and overall well-being. These therapies are designed to support physical, emotional, and mental health while creating meaningful moments for patients and their loved ones.

Whether it's finding relaxation through gentle massage, expressing emotions through art, sharing special memories through music, or enjoying the companionship of a therapy animal, our goal is to help enhance quality of life and provide comfort throughout the care journey.
