FMC follows the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and its regulations when referring to service animals. A service animal is defined as any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. It is our policy to provide a safe environment for all patients, staff, and visitors while allowing Pet Therapy and Service Dogs to have access to the facility.
