Good Samaritan Hospital’s New Volunteer Therapy Dog Comforting Patients and Caregivers

Good Samaritan Hospital in Vincennes has a new member of its Volunteer Services team.

Willow, a certified therapy dog, is a five-year-old New Finland Poodle.

The hospital says Willow and her handler, Dennis Everett, have been making a positive impact on the hospital community by providing comfort and joy to patients, caregivers, and visitors.

Everett says Willow has a natural ability to connect with people and that a simple interaction with her can brighten someone’s day and bring a sense of calm and happiness.
