Attached is information regarding the APTA NC Community Impact Challenge. One of our recent graduates won this a few years ago and was able to supply the wellness program with new equipment that we all , including our patients, can now use. Reach out to me
if you are thinking of a community project and would like guidance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
