Our Mission
It is the mission
of the Healing Waters Foundation to promote the rehabilitation of
people to their maximum functional level of independence. The work is
to be undertaken in a spirit of congeniality, encouragement, and
respect between patient and health provider, between co-workers, and
between different facilities using the pool.
Vision Statement
The Vision of the
Healing Waters Foundation is to build and operate a rehabilitation pool
as a memorial to Alan B. Follender, MD. The pool will be a place
where people with afflictions may come and receive hydrotherapy or
conditioning to improve performance. To achieve the Foundation's
goal, the Alan B. Follender Pool will be available to practitioners and
their patients to promote effective physical or occupational
therapy.
The Vision of
this foundation is of a facility that will service all age groups, all
walks of life and persons with all manner of physical impairment or
needed conditioning. To achieve this goal, the facility will have
sufficient space to allow development into a world class rehabilitation
center designed to progress an individual from gains obtained in the
pool to achievements on land. The facility will include
state-of-the-art equipment, a professional staff with the drive to
improve their skills and with the patience to deliver the best of care
with gentility and expertise.
Every effort will
be made to provide excellent aquatic services to the public. Future
goals for the Healing Waters Foundation include an expansion with music
therapy, massage therapy, Pilates, and other associated treatments. The
physical location will serve as a place for medical conferences to
further evidence based knowledge of rehabilitation through an aquatic
program.
