What is Prairieland Visiting Animals Association?

  • Providing Delta Society®-registered human/animal teams to healthcare facilities.
  • Conducting educational seminars and workshops.
  • Promoting a mentoring program for newly registered teams.
  • Providing animal evaluations with Delta®-licensed evaluators.
