September 14-Companion animals can have a positive impact on health as people age. Today Dr. Schreiner gave a talk about human-animal interaction (HAI) at the Rochester Community and Technical College as part of the Learning is Forever (LIFE) program.  LIFE provides a diverse array of educational programs and encourages social and personal growth for life-long learners in our growing and diverse community.

The talk entitled “the Importance of Companion Animals in Aging Populations” focused on both positive and negative aspects of pet ownership in the elderly.
