Shepherd Center Hosts 2018 Recreation Therapy Events and Outings
Recreation therapy events provide physical activity, education, skill development and community reintegration.
The Shepherd Center Recreation Therapy Program encourages all former patients and their families to participate in its upcoming events in 2018. From sporting events to health and wellness clinics to trips large and small, the hospital's recreation therapy program has something to satisfy every interest.
The mission of Shepherd Center’s Recreation Therapy Department is to help people with a temporary or permanent disability caused by injury or disease to lead healthy and active lifestyles as independently as possible through the use of recreation activities, providing education, skill development and community reintegration opportunities.
For a complete list of events, download the Recreation Therapy 2018 Event Brochure, and visit the Recreation Therapy event page on Shepherd.org. Registration for Adventure Skills Workshop will open February 14. More information about the AJC Peachtree Road Race will be available soon.
