Event makes sure kids return to school with clean, tuned-up wheelchairs
“The wear and tear on wheelchairs takes its toll, and you don’t think about it until it actually breaks down or, you know, a wheel falls off. So it’s important to get it regularly looked at, regularly cleaned.“
Alabama Care is on site for the Back-to-School Bash and Wheelchair Wash at the Children’s Rehabilitation Service office in Tuscaloosa. This live broadcast features CRS staff as well as members of the University of Alabama’s wheelchair basketball team.
