"Recreational activities contribute to a healthier mind and body.
We teach our patients that with a positive attitude and a
willingness to work, they can participate in almost any activity
they desire, regardless of their physical disabilities," according
to Lisa Cline, a recreational therapist with Memorial's Regional
Rehabilitation Center.
