Welcome to Magnolia Paws for Compassion® - Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias
Interaction with animals has been shown to have a positive impact on people impacted by many illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, epilepsy, cancer, obesity and cardiovascular disease. Magnolia Paws for Compassion is a special program, created by Eisai Inc., which aims to support people living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias as they plan for and care for their pet.
When an individual is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, many new questions and considerations arise. Magnolia Paws for Compassion offers resources to help support individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias as they navigate:
Caring for their beloved pets
Finding support to keep their pets in the home longer
Making plans for their pet’s future, in the event that they can no longer care for them


Magnolia-Partners Along the Patient Journey
At Eisai Inc., human health care (hhc) is our goal. We give our first thoughts to patients and their families, helping to increase the benefits health care provides. Magnolia is the embodiment of the hhc mission, designed to help meet the evolving needs of patients and their families. Magnolia places a high value on face-to-face interaction with patients giving patients support to address their challenges while offering Eisai employees the opportunity to gain firsthand experience to inform the work they do.
In addition to raising awareness and providing resources, Magnolia Paws for Compassion embodies Eisai's hhc mission by involving our employees and encouraging them to have their own pets trained as therapy dogs. Once trained, the dogs spend time with patients, helping to alleviate some of the emotional and physical stresses associated with illness, while employees also gain an understanding of the patients’ journeys.
