Provide a health dose of joy where it's needed most by getting certified to visit patients with your well-mannered dog! "Unleash" love on patients, families and staff by visiting one or more of our 10 hospitals throughout Central Florida. Enhance patient experience by offering emotional support and comfort through the healing process. Pet therapy has been shown to reduce loneliness, blood pressure, anxiety/stress, and pain.
