Description
We’re excited to welcome certified Bright Spot Therapy Dogs (and their humans) to join our team as comfort dog volunteers. In this role, dog and human volunteers will provide valuable comfort, support, and affection to our hardworking team members. As a comfort dog volunteer, responsibilities include visiting various areas of the hospital and interacting and socializing with employees, and some patients, too. We'll be sure that volunteering with your furry friend can easily fit into your schedule - like tail wags and belly rubs!
