Patients, staff at Penn State Hershey get a chance to meet therapy dogs

Penn State Hershey Medical Center recently observed Pet Therapy Awareness Day. Several dogs were on-hand to help inform patients, employees and others about the Pet Therapy Program’s role at the Medical Center. The Pet Therapy Program at Penn State Hershey Medical Center began in 2005 and visits occur in nearly all adult units in the hospital every day of the week. Regular pet therapy visits also take place in the Children’s Hospital.
