Paws for Patients
Harness some positive energy.
With the wag of a tail, NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital Canine Cuddlers volunteers bring smiles to faces throughout the Hospital in areas such as the physical therapy gymnasium, the geriatric and adult psychiatric units, and the pediatric floors. As a Canine Cuddlers volunteer, you and your four-legged partner can reduce stress, promote healing, lower blood pressure and lift the spirits of patients, families and staff in the Hospital.
