    Description

    BRING YOUR DOG TO VISIT HOSPICE PATIENTS!

    What a special day for a hospice patient when you and your dog visit!

    Capital City Hospice services patients throughout Central Ohio, and recognizes the impact the gentle presence of a therapy dog can make. You and your dog can visit patients as your schedule allows.

    Dogs must be registered as therapy dogs (we have information about getting your dog registered), and owners must attend an orientation at the Capital City Hospice office to learn about hospice, policies and procedures, and documentation. Monthly orientation sessions are held at our office. Email or call (614-441-9300) or email for more information or to register for an upcoming orientation.

    Brighten a patient's day with a happy visit from you and your dog!

    We hope you (and your dog) will join our team of outstanding volunteers!
