The MSAC Wellness Program

Our participants, called members, come to the MSAC one day per week to improve their physical and mental well-being. Exercise, physical therapy and activities for engaging their brains and creativity are led by our professional staff, guest experts and students. This format provides opportunities to do targeted work that is less costly than private therapy. MSAC program days are Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
