Pet Therapy
Posted March 10, 2010
Twice a month at Hale Makua Kahului and at Hale Makua Wailuku, Dr. Shannon Dominguez of Haku Baldwin Center brings pets in to spend time with the residents. Studies have found that spending time with pets diminishes emotional pain, diminishes physical pain, reduces boredom, reduces anxiety, and makes people happy.
Haku Baldwin Center’s vision is to foster therapeutic partnerships between people and animals which we believe promotes the growth and development of healing relationships among all living beings.
They engage in charitable, educational, and scientific work of a public nature involving the establishment and operation of an equestrian and animal center for therapeutic treatment, education and nurturing of challenged individuals.
