Club Discovery - Faculty Advisor

2012 - Present

Club Discovery is a joint venture between Mercy College and Gilda’s Club Westchester.  Social engagement is linked to physical and emotional health.  Many survivors report difficulty in returning to social roles after cancer treatment has been completed.  The camp is designed to expose the participants to various leisure and stress-relieving, healthy activities with the hope that it will lead to a pattern of increased social engagement after the camp has concluded.

Club Discovery is a capstone project in the Graduate OT Program in which the students complete a qualitative study with a focus on quality of life and participation in meaningful leisure-time activities.
