    Description

    Therapy dogs for hospice visits

    Your therapy dog can be the special visitor to brighten a patient's day!

    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 registering your dog), 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 (cch-vc@addus.com) or call (614-441-9300) for more information or to register for an upcoming orientation.

    Make a difference with a happy visit from you and your dog!

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