Brianna Hampton, a child life specialist at American Family Children's Hospital, lives and works with Kiko, who in 2021 became the hospital's first full-time facility dog.Â
Kiko is American Family Children’s Hospital’s first full-time facility dog. She works with her handler, Brianna Hampton, a child life specialist at the hospital, to help patients stay calm before, during or after blood draws and other procedures.
Since late September, Brianna Hampton has been joined in her job at American Family Children's Hospital by Kiko, a facility dog trained in Georgia. A second facility dog is expected at the hospital next spring.
Kiko wears a green vest and UW Health identification tag in 2021 at American Family Children's Hospital through its Canine Health and Medical Pals, or CHAMPs, program.
