About Magnolia Paws for Compassion®
Magnolia Paws for Compassion is a special program, created by Eisai Inc., in partnership with the Epilepsy Foundation and 4 Paws for Ability, which seeks to increase access to animal assistance and raise awareness of the many benefits that service and therapy dogs can provide to those coping with an illness, such as epilepsy or a seizure disorder.
Magnolia Paws for Compassion embodies Eisai's hhc mission by involving our employees in fundraising to support animal assistance and encouraging them to have their own pets trained as therapy dogs. Once trained, they spend time with patients, helping to alleviate some of the emotional and physical stresses associated with illness, while also gaining an understanding of the patient's journey to help inform and motivate their work.
