We were thrilled to welcome Paws of Comfort for a special Employee Day at Sturdy Health! We are so grateful for our dedicated staff, and what better way to show our appreciation than with a visit from our furry friends? 🐶❤️ The Southeastern Massachusetts Paws of Comfort Lions Club brought their therapy dogs to spread joy and comfort, just as they do for our patients. From cuddles to tail wags, our staff enjoyed every moment of this paw-sitive experience! The therapy dogs were a hit, providing a much-needed break and reminding us of the healing power of companionship. Thank you to our partners at Paws of Comfort and to everyone involved in making this event a success! #PawsOfComfort #SturdyHealth #TeamAppreciation #TherapyDogs #HealingThroughPets #EmployeeWellness
