Touching lives Join the AOA at MDA summer camp The AOA partners with the Muscular Dystrophy Association to provide hands-on osteopathic care to patients at MDA summer camps. May 3, 2016Tuesday The DO Staff Contact The DO Staff Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email The AOA is once again partnering with the Muscular Dystrophy Association to provide the osteopathic medical community a unique opportunity to deliver osteopathic care to the patients at MDA summer camps and to give back to surrounding communities. The MDA hosts 74 one-week camps across the country between May and August for young people between the ages of 6-17 years who have been diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. The camps are offered at no cost to families. This year, the AOA’s goal is for 75 osteopathic students and physicians to participate at an MDA summer camp. DOs can volunteer as medical staff at the camps and DOs, students, and others can volunteer to be counselors with the opportunity to work one-on-one with campers, providing close supervision and the attention that children with muscle disease need.
