The Animal Assisted Therapy Program at BWFH is a collaborative program between the Department of Inpatient Nursing and Volunteer Services. Its purpose is to provide the opportunity for patients to receive visits from approved dogs and handler teams on a scheduled basis.
If you and your dog are certified through a pet therapy program, we would love to have you visit patients at Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital.
