Opportunities

Reception and infusion room

Assist patients, families and staff during a stressful, emotional time and ease the tension of visits to INTEGRIS Health Cancer Institute. Help in the Infusion room making patient's as comfortable as possible and assist patients at reception with check-in, directions, answering questions and answering the phone. Your warmth, smile and kindness might be the small thing they needed to improve their day and inspire hope.

INTEGRIS Health Cancer Institute pet therapy

Animal assisted therapy is a goal directed intervention that incorporates an animal into the treatment process provided by a credentialed therapist. An animal assisted activity (Pet Therapy) enhances a patient’s quality of life. Credentialed pets and their handlers will visit patients, staff and guests throughout the hospital to aid in the healing process and enhance emotional coping mechanisms.
