Volunteer Pet Therapy Practitioners provide certified Pet Therapy Dog visits as a part of our holistic care coverage. They work in conjunction with and at the direction of our interdisciplinary hospice team to provide support to patients and their families. These opportunities are available in both our Inpatient Unit, skilled facilities and patient's homes. Hours are flexible and are coordinated with the patient and their families.
