Challenge Center

Program 1: extended physical Therapy program services: treats persons with disabilities and seniors after their insurance coverage is exhausted, for the length of time needed to fully maximize function and provides the medical and expert support medically complex/disabled persons require to participate in an effective exercise program. Over 97% of physical Therapy clients made significant progress towards their functional goals. As clients increase their independence, family members who have had to leave their jobs to care for loved-ones have been able to resume their lives and return to work. Mothers are enabled to independently care for their children and end costly daycare. Elderly couples and singles are able to stay and enjoy their golden years in their own home.

Program 2: health and wellness program services include: assisted fitness, balance and conditioning classes, aquatics, yoga, and more for lifelong health and function. During the past year, 96% of the Center's clients reported improvements in one or more areas of function, fitness level, psychological well-being, and/or quality of life. Also, over 97 %of balance class participants demonstrate measurable improvement of the 10 meter walk test - a key indicator of fall risk and overall level of function. The effects of our program do not end at our doorway. The positive ripple effects are far-reaching and extend the benefits to many more individuals in the community. Through better fitness, function, and wellness, seniors and persons with disabilities are empowered to secure the freedom to work, learn, and engage in their families' communities.
