Where Therapet Serves
Trinity Mother Frances Rehabilitation Hospital
an Affiliate of Healthsouth
This rehabilitation hospital has utilized Animal Assisted Therapy daily since 1994. The specially trained dogs, cats and miniature horses are incorporated into patient treatment by Speech, Occupational and Physical Therapists daily. Patients can work on balance, coordination, memory, arm functioning, walking, and a host of other goals while working with these special Therapets. This program has served as a template for many other AAT programs across the country.
Mother Frances Hospital- Tyler Texas
Since 1994 the Therapet therapy dogs have been visiting Trinity Mother Frances Hospital. On the first three Wednesday evenings of each month, Therapets visit from 7 to 8:30 pm. Therapets offer a healing paw to the children and families in the Children Center and lift hopes in the Intensive Care Units. In addition, each week they rotate their visits between the Ornelas and Dawson towers to visit patients, families and staff throughout the hospital. Trinity Mother Frances Hospital was one of the first acute care hospitals in the nation to allow therapy animals to visit at the bedside.
East Texas Medical Center
In 2002 Therapet Foundation began providing Animal Assisted Therapy services to East Texas Medical Center on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month. The Therapets visit all floors including ICU, CCU and the rehabilitation center. The patients, families and staff look forward to these visitations and many people are waiting in the lobby to greet them when they arrive.
University of Texas Health Science Center (UTHSC) 
In 1999 the Therapets began providing services to UTHSC on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month. The Therapets visit many of the floors visiting patients, families and staff. In addition, UTHSC includes Therapets in many of their special needs camps each year including the asthma camp held at Camp Tyler in the Summer.
READ Program and Therapet join together
Beckville Sunset Elementary School in Beckville, Texas was looking for a program that would provide K-5th graders an irresistible opportunity to improve their reading in a setting which has been proven not only effective but fun! Therapet joined with R.E.A.D. (Reading Education Assistance Dogs). During the reading sessions, the children forget about their limitations and benefit from the special time with the animal. Therapet is looking to expand this program to more children throughout the East Texas area over the next few years.
