Momo
NYC Health + Hospitals/Coler on Roosevelt Island
Momo is a 2015 female yellow Labrador Retriever that was trained in Texas at Drachten Performance and donated through Healing Pause to the Coler Hospital on Roosevelt Island in 2020. She lives full time in the hospital and works with three handlers to cover the various units, events, and situational therapy that she is trained to perform. Momo is characterized by her unreactive relaxing presence that just oozes calm.
