Application to serve on Healwell's Squads

Healwell has a variety of Squads that are essential to our impact. Our Squads meet monthly or every other month for an hour, depending on a variety of factors. Squad members should expect to spend 2-4 hours each month working on Squad-related activities (not including the virtual happy hours that you very well may decide you want to have with your fellow Squad members because they’re such incredible people). Some folks love Squad work and decide to stay in that role (and that’s awesome!). Many Squad members choose to make the transition to Board service, continuing to serve on a Squad while also applying to serve on the Board of Directors. It is not required that you ever transition from Squad work to Board service if the Squad is where you feel you fit best.

Currently, Healwell has 4 Squads and any one of them could potentially benefit from your passion and expertise!

Our Mission

Touch. Teach. Advocate.
We touch people affected by illness. We teach massage therapists how to provide care safely and effectively. We advocate for access to that care and for a broader role for massage therapists in healthcare.

I struggle to find the “on” button on my computer.

I am slow to get up to speed, but once I have it, I have it.

I am pretty good at figuring things out.

I love technology and feel totally at home connecting and collaborating virtually.
