The Pet Therapy program at Orlando Health brings hope, healing and a calming presence to our patients via "furry" professionals. Our pet therapy teams consisting of canines and their owners provide our patients, their families and guests with an opportunity to connect with a loving and comforting animal, sometimes right at their bedside. The non-verbal communication between a dog and a patient is something very unique and special. With our certified and trained pet therapy teams, we are able to reach patients during difficult times and in difficult situations. Meet some of our "furry angels" who are making a difference everyday at the hospitals of Orlando Health.
