When the COVID-19 pandemic began, the Margaret A. Darrin Charitable Trust sought out impactful ways to improve the lives of patients battling the disease. A need was quickly identified, and through a $235,000 grant, the Morristown Medical Center Sameth Emergency Department was able to upgrade eleven exam rooms into negative-pressure rooms, which protect against the spread of airborne infections.

Atlantic Health System's Soothing Paws® Program teams were called into action to support Emergency staff on the frontlines. The animal-assisted activity program ("pet therapy") for patients has temporarily been suspended due to Covid-19 restrictions, but the support does not end for staff and emergency personnel. With a modified protocol and additional safety measures in place, the Soothing Paws® teams support the resiliency of hospital staff with limited outdoor visits and virtual programs. The positive emotional and physical benefits of animal-assisted activities (AAA) include reducing pain, anxiety, depression and fatigue, as well as lowering blood pressure.
To learn how you can support the Soothing Paws® Program in our community, contact the Foundation for Morristown Medical Center at 973-593-2400.
