Notes

WHEELCHAIR SPORTS
Magee Rehabilitation has a long history of supporting the local community of people with disabilities. Magee's wheelchair sports programs heighten independence and improve quality-of-life. Getting involved with Magee's sports programs helps people with disabilities to reach for personal health and wellness goals. In addition to experiencing the excitement of competing, those goals include:

  • Improved fitness and overall health through physical activity
  • Increased opportunities for social contact among peers, resulting in enhanced social skills
  • Increased self-esteem and confidence
  • Adaptation to disability through interaction with peers and role models.

Magee athletes have competed in regional, national and international sports events, including the Paralympics, held every four years at the site of the Summer Olympic games.
