The Weinberg Family Cerebral Palsy Center (WFCPC) seeks to improve the lives of people with CP through clinical care, research, and medical education. Pony Power Therapies seeks to use horses and an accessible farm to enhance the physical, social and emotional well-being of children and adults who need extra support. Together, we hope to bring the best in medical care and therapeutic recreation to people with CP and other disabilities.

During the town hall, clinicians at WFCPC will present opportunities for medical treatment and new therapies at Columbia, and the staff at Pony Power will present opportunities for therapeutic recreation on the farm. Together, we will explain how our programs and services can promote good health and wellness for the communities we serve.
