Do you have a passion for giving back, and have a dog with pet therapy vibes? We have an exciting opportunity for adults ages 18+ to come in regularly to provide pet therapy for our patients and staff.
Your dog must be certified through Bright and Beautiful Therapy Dogs, or you must be willing to complete that certification first. If you are certified through another accredited organization, you may still be qualified to join.
Handlers must apply to be an official volunteer for our organization. Pet therapy teams must commit to 1 shift per week on a regular basis, with an overall minimum commitment of 1 year.
Please join us to support our mission at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center: To provide Compassionate Care, Healthcare Excellence, and Superior Service to our patients and their families!
Prospective Volunteers will need to complete an interview and application process, which includes comprehensive medical screening and clearance, background check, references, and drug screening. A volunteer uniform will be provided as part of our dress code. Pet therapy teams must also complete an onsite orientation and evaluation at no cost by our certified pet trainer, to make a final determination of readiness to volunteer in the medical center.
