    Therapy dog visits for hospice patients

    Therapy dogs make the day special for our patients!

    Capital City Hospice invites you and your certified therapy dog (we have information about getting your dog registered/certified) to bring smiles to our patients. We serve patients throughout Central Ohio and know how much they enjoy visits from volunteers and their furry friends!

    Volunteers may choose the patients (throughout Central Ohio) they visit as well the day(s) and time(s) to visit. Volunteer orientations are offered monthly (1st Wednesday, 1-4pm & 3rd Thursday, 9-noon) at our Capital City Hospice office.

    Please email (cch-vc@addus.com) or call (614-441-9300) to register for an upcoming orientation or for more information.

    We look forward to meeting you!
