Phoenix Children’s is bringing comfort, healing, and joy to patients through its Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) Program. Scientific research has shown that interaction with animals can provide both physical and emotional benefits, and this program integrates specially trained therapy dogs into patient care. The volunteer animal teams, along with full-time facility dogs, visit patients at the bedside and at events, helping to lift spirits and ease the stress of treatment.
Chrissy Richardson, Animal-Assisted Therapy Coordinator at Phoenix Children’s, and Breanna Tabor, Child Life Specialist at Phoenix Children’s, joined “Arizona Horizon” alongside Sparky, a beloved therapy dog, to share how the program supports patients and families while also working with staff to achieve treatment goals. From physical therapy sessions to preparing for surgeries, the presence of these therapy dogs makes a meaningful difference in the healing journey.
