HMH Hospice

Your certified dog is welcome to join the Hackensack Meridian Hospice Pet Therapy Program! Pet therapy sessions are casual interactions of specifically trained volunteer/animal teams with a patient for joy and comfort. Only dogs that have successfully completed a Certified Pet Therapy Dog Program are eligible. Emotional support and service dogs, though valuable, do not qualify for pet therapy in our program. (Contact us if you need information on how your dog can get certified.)

HMH Hospice serves patients wherever they call home in central and south NJ. Visits are based on your availability and within a manageable commute. For more information, email Hospice.Volunteer@HMH.org.

Mission Statement

Hackensack Meridian Hospice offers compassionate holistic care to those experiencing a life limiting illness to ensure that they may live as fully and comfortably as possible. The hospice philosophy treats the person and the symptoms of the disease, rather than treating the disease itself. Hospice care includes many things, but what it means to us is dignity, respect, comfort, quality of life and time together at life’s most precious moments.
