Swedish Cherry Hill is seeking Animal-Assisted Therapy volunteers to provide patient visits throughout our busy campus. For you, we offer flexible volunteer shifts, one-on-one training, free coffee, parking and shift meals, and grateful patients and staff. For your pup, we offer a large, grassy, outdoor break area, adoration and ear rubs, and grateful patients and staff!

If you have a therapy dog that is certified through either Pet Partners or Canine Companions, we would love to talk to you about this opportunity at Cherry Hill. We receive many requests from our patients for therapy dog visits and we need more Animal-Assisted therapy volunteers to fill the growing need.

Ideal candidates are compassionate, judicious, and adept and communicating with a wide variety of people.
