A vision to aid one young man with polio
quickly grew to include 61 area children
within the same year. With the cooperation
of an orthopedic surgeon who traveled from
Philadelphia to Williamsport every month and
donations of beds and services by the
Williamsport Hospital; Pennsylvania’s first
known orthopedic clinic was started.
We
have gone from meeting the needs of children
afflicted with polio in the 1930′s through
an entire spectrum of services that now
includes improving the lives of children
with a large variety of disabilities;
including cerebral palsy, spina bifida, Down
syndrome and autism spectrum disorders.
