"Welcome to Holland Hospital....can I be your friend?"

Emmy's cool Pet Therapy bandanna!
Dr. Emmy returned to the hospital today for another therapy dog session. This time, Amy was able to go along to see how well Emmy does. We were able to visit a few patients and Emmy enjoyed every minute of it. In fact, she seemed sad every time we went to leave a room because she had made herself right at home with each patient. She of course got lots of attention from nurses and other hospital staff. Probably her favorite spot was visiting the ladies at the welcome desk, because so many visitors and staff walked by and said "Hi!". Jillian, the Pet Therapy coordinator even gave Emmy a cool bandanna to keep for when she comes back again...and also as a souvenir of her trips to Holland Hospital! Thanks for letting us come visit Jillian! Check out our link on the right hand side for Holland Hospital's Healing Environment. There is even a link there for a story about their pet therapy program.

It is amazing the interaction they can have and how in such a short time they can really make a connection. Cheeto does hospice work and she has been love by many patients and she quietly rests her had on their lap or lays at their feet puts her head in just the right spot for a caress. Great job Emmy you have your mom's heart.
