Our mission is to provide the children of New Mexico with comprehensive, family-centered health care that is unequaled in the state and region. Your support helps care for our dedicated facility dog, Choco. Choco is trained to perform service dog commands including picking up items, opening doors and providing calming pressure across a patients lap or body. Choco’s trained skills are utilized across UNM Children’s to enhance existing clinical therapies, promote pediatric participation and reduce anxiety for children in typically stressful environments.
