At a Clubhouse, individuals join together for a common goal. It is a community. Our community stands together as we continue to open up more services and look to the future. Our Programs are carefully designed to provide opportunities both in person and virtually to maximize your physical, cognitive, and communicative skills.
We recognize the struggle and also provide activities for social support, wellness groups and community engagement. Our Associates are highly experienced, creative and driven with backgrounds in occupational therapy, speech pathology, education, exercise physiology, personal training and vocational rehabilitation.
