Volunteer Opportunities: Pet Therapy

Because healing sometimes comes with four paws and a wagging tail.

Pet Therapy Volunteers provide comfort, encouragement, and companionship to patients, families, and team members throughout the hospital. A calm, well-trained therapy dog can ease anxiety, inspire smiles, reduce stress, and bring moments of peace during difficult times.  Every wag, gentle nuzzle, and friendly visit has the power to brighten a patient’s day.

If you and your dog enjoy meeting new people, have a heart for serving others, and have a therapy dog certification, we’d love to hear from you. Together, you can make a meaningful difference—one visit, one smile, and one paw at a time.
