Information About Service Animals
A service animal is a dog or a miniature horse trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability.
- Service animals are not required to wear a vest, patch or any other kind of identification.
- St. Luke’s understands that patients and visitors may use service animals for disabilities that are not readily apparent. For example, a service animal might alert and protect a person who is having a seizure or calm a person with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack.
Animals whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals.
