The Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine partners with Support Dogs, Inc. to bring the TOUCH program to cancer patients. TOUCH stands for Therapy of Unique Canine Helpers, where dogs become certified for therapy work at hospitals and other health care centers.

The dogs range in size from teacup breeds to great danes. They walk through the chemotherapy unit of the center, where patients and staff are allowed to pet them. This type of "touch" therapy has proven to relieve stress and bring calm and positive feelings to those who participate.
