Bring a smile to a hospice patient with the unconditional love from your dog! Therapy dogs are welcome visitors to our patients.
Gentiva Hospice serves hospice patients throughout Central Ohio, and volunteers improve the quality of life of patients through companionship visits. If you have an animal companion, and especially a therapy animal, you know the comfort and joy that they can bring!
Therapy dogs must have successfully completed obedience and therapy dog classes, and their owners must complete the Gentiva volunteer training before visiting patients.
Volunteer orientation sessions are offered according to your availability and the availability of the Volunteer Coordinator, daytime and evening. Call (614.414.0500) or email kimberlyn.wideman@gentivahs.com for more information or to register.
Join our team of outstanding volunteers!
