New Therapy Dog Joins Deaconess Memorial Medical Center

Deaconess Memorial Medical Center in Jasper has welcomed its newest therapy dog.

Bentley, a trained one-year-old English Cream Golden Retriever, will visit patients, families, and team members to provide comfort, emotional support, and stress relief.

Bentley’s arrival was funded by Deaconess Memorial caregivers through ECHO, the hospital’s employee giving program.

Their support covered Bentley’s training and hospital introduction.
