There is a need for volunteers at the spinal
chord injury outpatient clinic at the Canton Hospital School. The First Five
group is a free-to-patients physical therapy clinic pilot program for spinal
chord injured patients who are seeking to improve their individual level of
independence and mobility through a variety of physical therapy exercises.
The program is staffed by PT professionals but due to the number of clients to
be accommodated, we are seeking volunteers to assist the staff with
one-on-one attention with these folks as they perform their exercise routines.
The atmosphere is very upbeat, and I can assure you that
your time will fly by and no specific talent or expertise is needed to be a
volunteer. The First Five program operates on Mondays, Wednesdays, and
Thursday evenings from 5-approximately 8pm. The contact person for the
program is Taime (pronounced Ty-mee) Paadre. . Her telephone number is
781-784-3677.
