Do you have a certified therapy dog? Bring them to visit a hospice patient!
St. Croix Hospice is looking for compassionate individuals and their furry friends to visit people affected by a life-limiting illness. Pet therapy has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and physical and emotional pain. We are seeking people from the Albany MN area. Visits are typically made once a week. We work around your schedule. Please contact us if you're interested in learning more about our program.
Not certified for pet therapy? No problem, St. Croix Hospice would like to help you connect to people in the community who will help get you started and mentor you along the way. Feel welcomed to reach out to Volunteer Coordinator Jodi Julseth at 320-250-6899.

Description
Originally founded in Minnesota, St. Croix Hospice is named after the St. Croix River. Symbols of change, rivers are restless, sometimes moving swiftly and other times peaceful and nearly still. Like life, rivers are not always easy to navigate, and it’s good to have a guide to help you through the difficult parts. We are here to guide your end-of-life journey with care and compassion.
