“PACE is a place where the clients can socialize, share their experiences, and motivate each other to reach their full potential. ”

When I first joined PACE, I thought it would be a strict, fast-paced environment where the volunteers only strive to help the clients meet their physical goals. However, PACE is so much more than that. It is a place where the clients can socialize, share their experiences, and motivate each other to reach their full potential. The volunteers also benefit greatly from this program. The clients have so much to offer, and after a stressful day of classes I look forward to a friendly chat with the PACE members. The meaningful friendships you make while watching your clients reach their milestones are priceless. I experienced the rewards of a career in healthcare firsthand through PACE and I appreciate the chance to volunteer in such a welcoming environment.

“The MacWheelers program has been life-changing.”

When I was discharged from my Outpatient Physio program I worried that I might lose some of what I had recovered without ongoing physiotherapy. MacWheelers had been strongly recommended to me by the Outpatient team, but I was skeptical that going to a ‘gym’ could replace the specialized program that had helped my recovery so much. Once I experienced MacWheelers it was clear that it was far more than a membership at a gym!
I was assessed and a personalized workout regimen was created for me. Eventually, I came for extra sessions to practice my walking and I have experienced significant improvements. The MacWheelers program has been life-changing. The staff and volunteers provide exceptional expertise, support and encouragement. I am certain that I would not have the quality of life I currently enjoy without MacWheelers. Thank you for all you do!
