Can you picture a 200-pound Saint Bernard dressed in a diaper, a Beagle as Batman, or a Labrador Retriever as Captain Jack Sparrow?
Carondelet St. Joseph’s Hospital hosts its 7th Annual Carondelet Rehabilitation PAWS and Babes “Howl”oween Costume Parade Thursday, October 16, 2008 beginning at 10:30am at St. Joseph’s Hospital, 350 N. Wilmot Road.
Therapy dogs from the PAWS program and children of Carondelet St. Joseph’s Rehabilitation associates dress in costume and parade through the hospital distributing Halloween treats to staff and patients.
“Our associates, volunteers, and patients look forward to this event every year,” says Jean Glattke, Director, Rehabilitation Services & Neurosciences Service Line. “The parade is a wonderful opportunity to put smiles on the faces of everyone who sees the incredibly creative costumes on our PAWS animals, the youngsters who participate and the grownups who escort both through the hospital.”
The dogs of PAWS for Health, the animal assisted therapy program, are specially trained and certified, working with licensed rehabilitation therapists to give patients motivation during their recovery. Interaction with these animals can improve balance, mobility, coordination, even memory and endurance.
