Troy Community Hospital patients recently enjoyed a visit from Hunter, a small terrier mix available for adoption at the Bradford County Humane Society.

Megan Snell, BCHS Community Outreach Coordinator went from room to room at TCH so all patients, nurses and doctors could see and pet Hunter.

Snell states, "It's a rewarding experience to do pet therapy. It really brightens patients' days when I come in with a pet."

Pet visits can be an integral part of socialization for the pets and the elderly. Currently BCHS visits Troy Community Hospital, The Bradford County Manor, Sayre House, Ashton Healthcare, and The Highlands.

BCHS is a United Way Agency.
