Hospital and rehabilitation golf programs have not always offered golf as a program, but that has changed as golf has become more possible and adaptive equipment more readily available. Returning war veterans with disabilities has resulted in more programs aimed at reintegration, particularly in such agencies as the Veterans Administration Hospitals and Clinics. Medical facilities such as the Sister Kenney Rehabilitation Institute in Minnesota (http://www.allina.com/ahs/ski.nsf/), the Edwin Shaw Challenge Golf Program in Ohio (http://www.akrongeneral.org), and the Scottish Rite Hospital for Children in Dallas (http://www.tsrhc.org/) are examples of organizations that have had golf rehabilitation and therapy programs for many years. While these types of programs use golf as a therapeutic tool, they can also provide the foundation for participants to continue to play the game once they leave the medical setting.
