The Pilot Club of Greenwood received a matching grant for a wheelchair accessible glider, called the WhisperGLIDE Swing to be donated to the Greenwood Regional Rehabilitation Hospital. This glider will allow wheelchair bound patients to visit with friends and family in a relaxing and socially supportive setting. The Glider provides gentle exercise, helps to reduce anxiety, and provides an environment for socialization and friendship. Wheelchairs are able to be rolled onto the glider ramp and be locked safely into place. “This glider not only provides an outdoor option for patients recovering at the Rehab Center, but allows families an alternative place for visiting" states Pilot Club president, Carol Scales.
