MN Therapy Animals
Hospice...
Because the end of life is part of living
Our hospice program works with patients throughout the Twin Cities metro area
(about a 60 mile radius.) We also see patients throughout the Princeton area (from
Buffalo to Onamia and St. Cloud to Cambridge.) We are looking for pet therapy
teams to visit our patients in their homes (usually nursing homes or assisted living
facilities.) The visits can be made anywhere from 1-4 times per month.
We do require volunteers to attend hospice volunteer training before seeing our
patients. Training can be done in a group or in a self-study format. You can find
more information about our volunteer program on our web site at
http://www.fairview.org/Hospice/Volunteers/index.asp
We currently have three pet therapy teams who volunteer with us, and they cannot
fill all of the requests we have. Anyone who is interested can contact me by using the
information below. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
