Paws for Patients
Care, One Cuddle at a Time
Sometimes, the smallest joys can make hospital stays and procedures that much easier. That’s why we’re proud to offer our Paws for Patients program, welcoming trained canine friends to visit with patients, families and staff.
This program offers fun social interactions and a healthy distraction from the usual hospital routine. The therapy dogs will also stop by various departments and clinics to visit employees and provide a time of comfort and de-stress.
Every Paws for Patients dog has been temperament tested, and both dog and handler have completed an evaluation process.
All Paws for Patients handlers visiting are also
Driscoll Volunteers
