Meet Sasha, Selena, and the incredible team behind Paws to Heal—our hospital’s therapy dog program that’s changing lives one tail wag at a time.

What started as a grassroots effort by a few passionate caregivers has grown into a hospital-wide movement of compassion, comfort, and connection. These certified therapy dogs—and the volunteers who walk beside them—visit patients, uplift caregivers, and bring joy to even the hardest moments.

Whether calming a child in the ER, supporting care teams after a tough call, or delivering handmade cards to patients from local schoolkids, these pups are more than cute—they’re essential.

Led by Volunteer Manager Stephanie Aldrich and inspired by caregivers like Tracy Iglesias (and her therapy dogs Sasha & Selena!), Paws to Heal is a model of whole-person care we’re proud to share with our community.

Because sometimes, the best medicine… has fur.

Being healthy isn’t just about what you do at the gym—it’s about how you fuel your body, care for your mind, and connect with the people who matter most.

For Joel Meyer, MD, and Chief Medical Officer at Platte Valley Hospital, that means staying active, eating well, getting good sleep, and making time for the things that bring joy—like music, art, and “wind therapy” on his bike.

We're reflecting on Men's Health Month by highlighting the small daily choices that add up to a healthier, more balanced life. From check-ups to creativity, it all counts.
