The Carondelet Heath Network says pet therapy is known for lifting spirits and improving patients' self-esteem and mood, while also lowering blood pressure.
TUCSON, Ariz. — The Carondelet Heath Network's pet therapy program"Paws for Health" is returning to the St. Mary's Hospital after an extended period of inactivity due to COVID-19 restrictions.
"Well I have, over the years, seen those people that are animal lovers really respond to it," said Barb Levison, occupational therapy assistant."The next time you see them they're just so much more relaxed." For patients who are in speech therapy, even voicing commands for the dogs can serve an an opportunity to work on verbal communication skills.
