TAILS (Therapy Animals In Loving Service)
Tails has been delivering smiles to patients, visitors, and staff since 2002. We currently have more than 35 teams.
Therapy dogs must be calm, obedient, and not easily distracted. They must love meeting many kinds of people. They should know basic commands, walk calmly on a loose lead, and be easily managed by their handlers in varied settings. For our program, dogs must be at least 2 years old; handlers must be at least 18 years old or at least 14 years old and accompanied by a parent.
TAILS handlers are hospital volunteers. All volunteers must attend the hospital’s orientation program, complete a background check, be tested for TB and get a flu shot each year. LUH is a drug-free and tobacco-free workplace. All therapy dog teams MUST be registered with a national therapy dog registration association.
Recognized registries for our programs include Alliance of Therapy Dogs (ATD) or Pet Partners.

LAUNCH - LUH ADVENTURE UNIVERSITY FOR NEW CAREERS IN HEALTHCARE
Launch is a summer health careers camp that provides high school students hands-on experiences while they learn about different healthcare professions. Careers such as nursing, therapies, labor and delivery, operating room, cardiovascular services, emergency medicine and many more will be highlighted during the program. Interactive activities and real-life simulations with our new adult and pediatric teaching mannequins provide the hands-on experience students want to explore future professions in the healthcare field.
The goal of the LAUNCH program is to provide an annual summer event to help high school students explore possible future careers in healthcare.
