Physical therapist assistant students teach exercise to City Union Mission residents

Physical therapist assistant students at the MCC-Penn Valley Health Science Institute recently partnered with the City Union Mission Family Life Program to provide presentations on health living. Students led presentations and demonstrated proper exercise techniques to the residents. The program is planning to add an incentive program for the residents in the area of exercise as well as nutrition to be added to the other life skills training they provide.

The partnership is part of a program that the City Union Mission is planning on developing for residents that emphasizes wellness. Gwen Robertson is coordinator for the physical therapist assistant program.
