Pup provides support to hospital workers

Sweetie, named in honor of the Thomases Family Endowment of the Youngstown Area Jewish Federation, was officially placed as a Crisis Care K-9 with Naples Comprehensive Health Hospital. Sweetie provides critical emotional support to hospital staff who work under intense pressure and Pup provides support to hospital workers in high-stress environments every day. Her calming presence, gentle demeanor, and natural ability to sense emotional cues make her an incredible asset to the hospital team. The Thomases Family Endowment of the Youngstown Area Jewish Federation has been a longtime annual supporter of this cause.
