Healing Environment 
Holland Hospital recognizes that the healing of mind, body and spirit are all-important and often interrelated. Our Healing Environment programs seek to bring the healing power of the arts and nature to our patients, and to your family and friends.
Pet Therapy— HEALING WITH Smiles!
Weekly visits for patients and staff from our canine friends we call “The Four-Legged Doctors.” All dogs and their handlers are licensed through Therapy Dogs, Inc. See Pet Therapy story in Healthy Life magazine.
Music to Heal By
