Wheelchair Against White Background

aired; August 28, 2026

Keeping a wheelchair clean and in good working condition can make a major difference for people who rely on mobility equipment every day. On The Spark, we’ll talk with Amy Mintmier, Supervisor of Therapy Services at UPMC Carlisle, about the important work rehabilitation professionals do to help people recovering from serious illness and injury return to their daily activities. Mintmier will also tell us about UPMC Carlisle’s free Wheelchair Wash and Repair event, which takes place September 25 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The annual event provides an opportunity for wheelchair users to have their equipment cleaned and receive repairs, while also raising awareness about the importance of regular wheelchair maintenance. Registration is currently open for the event.
