$11,600 to Paws for Wellness
April 2023

Contributions support St Joe’s newest dog-tor, a 2-year-old cuddly Leonberger named Scout. Scout is a part of Paws for Wellness, a program that brings regular therapy dog visits to patients in the Forensic Mental Health Unit at St. Joe’s.

With visits From Scout, patients are experiencing lower levels of anxiety, depression and isolation while building social interaction and coping skills.

The $11,6000 helped provide training, food, and vet care to ensure Scout is able to keep up his important role and make a positive difference in the lives of patients. Scout is servicing over 200 patients.
