Meet Frank, the puggle. You may see him cruising around in style in his stroller at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. Frank and his human, Donald, frequently visit pediatrics but are happy to go wherever there is a request. ⁠ ⁠ Some therapy dogs use strollers to help reduce muscle strain from walking long distances after an injury, or as they get older. Strollers can also make little dogs easier to reach. Therapy dogs are carefully evaluated in any equipment they use on visits to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. ⁠ ⁠ Show Frank some love in the comments!⁠ 🐾⁠ ⁠ Read more about the Animal Assisted Services program at Mayo Clinic: https://lnkd.in/gDMfmbTD

Congratulations to Leah, who recently received the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses!⁠ ⁠ "At 33 weeks pregnant, I was rushed by ambulance for possible severe pre-eclampsia. As a first-time mom, I was overwhelmed when I learned I’d be induced that day and have a NICU baby. I met Leah and she guided me through every step, making me feel strong and capable. She encouraged me to stay positive every step of the way. As labor progressed, she stayed by my side, ensuring my comfort, helping me with positions, and answering every question. She was there for my babies “birthday party,” standing beside me as my husband went to the NICU. Leah’s compassionate care turned the scariest moment of my life into one filled with strength, support, and even happy tears." ⁠ Mayo Clinic is among over 5,000 healthcare organizations worldwide committed to the DAISY Award program. The DAISY Award is presented each month to an extraordinary nurse.⁠ ⁠ ⁠If you know someone looking for a career in nursing, explore available opportunities today. https://mayocl.in/4hd5rq8
