The Muscular Dystrophy Association is hosting a Mobility Expo on Wednesday, July 6 from 4 to 8 p.m. at United Access to provide valuable information about wheelchairs and other forms of mobility equipment.
Representatives from First Care Medical, Majors Medical Services, United Access and United Rehab Specialists will attend Wednesday's Expo to educate people affected by the 43 neuromuscular diseases about the mobility options specific to their own needs. Guests will receive information about wheelchairs, mobility equipment, new vehicles and vehicle modifications. Complimentary inspections are being offered to already modified vehicles, and attendees will enjoy food and door prizes as they explore the resources available to them.
"We want to provide the families we serve with as much information as possible about the best ways to get around," said MDA Health Care Services Coordinator Angela Presley. "The Mobility Expo is designed to give out necessary information in a fun environment."
The Mobility Expo is open to the public. Those who wish to attend the Mobility Expo must RSVP by July 5 to Gary Roden at 972-480-0016 or groden@mdausa.org.
