Notes

The United Spinal Association sponsors monthly deli days at various VA hospitals from Buffalo, NY to Philadelphia, PA. These deli days give outpatients and inpatients a chance to socialize and rex while being treated to a nice lunch. The Sports and Recreation department also holds a number of sports clinics which include air rifle clinics and field events clinic such as a show put and javelin throughout the year. In addition to these activities the Sports and Recreation department sponsors monthly birthday parties and casino days at the hospitals which allow veterans the chance to get out and live life. Our department also provides room-to-room recreation, which reaches out to our in-patients that cannot leave their room. On different occasions our department also arranges bedside live music to the in-patients in the various VA hospitals.
