🐾 Happy National Dog Day! 🐾 From wagging tails to wet noses, our therapy dog programs and partnerships enhance the healing process for patients through emotional support. Across our hospitals, these four-legged friends help patients feel calmer, less anxious, and more at ease. Today, we’re celebrating the pups who proudly wear their official Ascension badges and bring comfort to everyone they meet. Drop a 🐶 in the comments to show them some love! (fb)
