To enhance healing by nourishing both the body and spirit, Carol Jo Vecchie Women's Services offers spa services for female inpatients.

The free spa services, performed at the bed side, include hand, foot and back rubs, mini facials and makeup application. Mothers in the Birth Center can get free massages from licensed massage therapists. Free spa services are available Monday through Friday from 1 - 4 p.m.

Shampoos, manicures, pedicures and other services can be provided for a fee in St. John's Beauty Shop or, if needed, at the bed side.

Friends of St. John's Hospital underwrites many of the bed side services. St. John's Samaritans also provide funding and support services.

To schedule an appointment, call (217) 744-2229 or (217) 544-6464, ext. 42229.
