Research has shown that interacting with animals can have a profound effect on a person's blood pressure, heart rate, and overall well-being. This effect is often more profound than relaxation training or meditation. Interaction with pets has also been shown to improve survival after a heart attack.

Paws on Call is a group of community volunteers who bring their trained dogs to visit patients and their loved ones, in and around the hospital.
