Bring your children out to read to The Caring Canines Therapy Dog Team
The Caring Canines Therapy Dog Team serves Swedish American Hospital, Regional Cancer Center on Bell School Road and the Belvidere Medical Clinic. Swedish American is proud to offer the Caring Canines Program as a compliment to other Holistic Health services provided to its patients. The therapy dog teams visit guests, patients, staff. Visits are designed to bring comfort to hospitalized patients who may be calmed or encouraged by a visit from a furry, friendly, 4 legged friend.
The program began in 2010 by visiting only Center for Mental Health. Now the therapy dog teams visit throughout the hospital except in Critical Care.
We look forward to visiting our friends at the East Public Library !
