One Health Day 2023 is being recognized on November 3 by our team with a presentation to student trainees from the Respiratory Training Program in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan. Dr. Colleen Anne Dell and therapy dog Molly will present on and demonstrate Zooeyia - the health benefits of pets in humans’ lives. They will highlight their team’s work with therapy dogs for people who do not have access to a pet; ranging from a controlled trail in a hospital emergency department through to visiting at a hospice with patients and their families. They will also share work being undertaken alongside Dr. Erika Penz, the Respiratory Training Program co-lead, on the importance of zooeyia for individuals diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the 3rd leading cause of death worldwide. The outcomes of their exploratory work and a video detailing this is available at: https://colleendell.com/copd
