Program activities include collecting data in a laboratory setting, using modern medical equipment, understanding different types of therapies for various injuries and disabilities, and experiencing a field trip to Mercy Health - Saint Mary’s Campus!
Besides learning there is a lot of fun! There are lots of activities that include physical movement and team building with great hot lunches provided.
