Paws 4 Healing/Pet Partners®

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Sierra View Medical Center! We’re not accepting new applications at this time but appreciate your support and hope to welcome new volunteers soon.

Thanks to a partnership with Paws 4 Healing, Inc. in partnership with Pet Partners®, Sierra View is able to offer both animal-assisted therapy and animal-assisted activities to our patients. Not only do therapy animals provide patients a fun diversion from the hospital routine, but studies have shown that pet therapy can also be beneficial to the healing process. Visits with these animals can help a patient relax, lower blood pressure, reduce feelings of loneliness or depression, improve balance and postural control, and much more.
