🐾 Celebrating 10 years of unforgettable moments
@pennstatehealthpups!
This week, our friends in Child Life and the Facility Dog Program celebrated a major milestone: 10 years of bringing comfort and joy to Penn State Health Golisano Children's Hospital.
These incredible pups and the dedicated handlers who care for them are beloved by patients, families, and visitors. They bring warmth, smiles, and plenty of cuddles to hospital days that can feel overwhelming.
💙 Did you know? Time with a facility dog can help reduce stress and anxiety, encourage connection, and make the hospital experience feel a little more like home.
Here’s to 10 amazing years of wagging tails and healing hugs. We’re so grateful for this incredible program! 🐶🎉
