San Diego County News Center reported that physical and occupational therapists at the County’s Medical Therapy Units (MTU) organized a full-day camp specifically designed for children with physical disabilities or chronic health challenges. The event featured activities such as basketball, volleyball, rugby, water games, and face-painting.

The MTUs are part of the statewide California Children’s Services (CCS) program and provide physical and occupational therapy to children under age 21 with medical conditions like diabetes, cystic fibrosis, spina bifida, hemophilia, sickle cell disease, or cerebral palsy.

San Diego County operates six MTUs located in Chula Vista, El Cajon, Escondido, San Diego North in Clairemont, San Diego South in Grant Hill, Vista, and a satellite office in Poway.
