Pet Therapy Program

Our PET THERAPY PROGRAM was started in December 2008 with visits to patients at our Cancer Center. The program now includes weekly visits to patients in both the hospital and the Cancer Center. Each week, one of our four canine friends will spend an hour visiting with patients who would like a visit. Our Pet Therapy program is sponsored by New England Pet Partners, Inc., a non-profit, 501(c) (3), bringing people and pets together to enhance well-being and education with pet-assisted therapy. The dogs that visit our Medical Center are registered through NEPP with Delta’s Pet Partner Program. Please visit New England Pet Partners, Inc.  for more information on their Pet Therapy Programs.

Our volunteers and their canine partners are:

Anne Marie Gagnon and "Brandy"
Kathy DeLong and "Jake"
Maureen Ross and "Tate"
Yvonne Gobis and "Tucker"
