Community Partners
Jefferson College of Nursing has developed a partnership with Leashes of Valor, a non-profit organization founded in 2017 that provides service dogs to support veterans affected with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and/or military sexual trauma (MST). We’re collecting data on the effect of service dogs on veterans with PTSD, with the goal of allowing physicians to prescribe service dogs.
The relationship with Leashes of Valor brought a new, four-legged member to our front office - Maggie, a five-year-old labrador retriever now known as the college's Chief Compassion Officer.
