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.
