Brighten a patients day by visiting them with your trained pet therapy animal! Pet Therapy volunteers visit patient rooms and help them relieve stress and anxiety by visiting with your pet.
Pet Therapists need to be excellent at working with people and providing great customer service. Pets should be certified through an organization like HALO or TDI.
Ideally, Pet Therapists are available to visit patients at least once a week, though alternate schedules can be arranged.

Mission Statement
The Hospital Volunteers provide support and non-clinical care to the patients and families of OU Medical Center Adult Towers, and endorse the hospital's mission to value compassion, quality care, and teamwork.
Description
The volunteer organization was founded in 1960 as the Wesley Hospital Volunteer Auxiliary. Wesley Hospital became affiliated with the United Presbyterian Church in 1964. Hence, the name changed to Presbyterian Hospital Volunteer Auxiliary. In 2003, following the hospital's Joint Operating Agreement with the state of Oklahoma, Presbyterian Hospital and the University Hospital Volunteers merged services. Now established as The Medical Center Volunteers, the organization strives to provide the patients and families of OU MEDICAL CENTER with a variety of patient services. In the past 40 years, the organization has evolved to become an integral part of our hospital services. The volunteers manage the hospital gifts shops, information desks, art galleries and other services focusing on providing patient/family support and comfort. Proceeds from our gift shops allow our organization to support patient services, education, and community health programs.
