With heavy hearts, we share the passing of a very special member of our Center for Change family, Mr. Bingley, one of our beloved pet therapy dogs. 🐾💙

For over 8½ years, Mr. Bingley and his partner, Leslie Wasden, brought comfort, connection, and countless moments of joy to our patients and staff. His gentle presence made a lasting impact on so many in their recovery journeys.

Recently, Leslie visited to pick up cards our patients created in honor of Mr. Bingley.

He will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. 💛
