Unit Visits
Our PAWS dogs visit patients in the units and at the bedside regularly throughout the month. The teams will stop by the patient’s room (if approved by their medical team) to offer a visit.

Hospital Visits
Our PAWS dogs sometimes stop by to say ‘hi’ to staff in their work areas or visit waiting areas around the hospital. The dogs also participate in special events at the hospital and clinics. If you see them around, feel free to greet them!

Cuddles for Caregivers
Everyone is welcome to get their fill of fuzzy friends. Stop by anytime to say hi!
