Grampians Health is delighted to have numerous cute pooches and their volunteer handlers around the Base and QEC sites.

Paws on Wards are now visiting many units across our health service, reducing stress and promoting healing for our patients, visitors, staff and volunteers alike.

The program is designed to lift spirits of patients and their families and is a great way for staff and volunteers to engage.
