The Lehigh Valley Center for Independent Living continues to work toward its goal of creating more opportunities for persons with disabilities in all areas of fitness and health.

The center recently received a grant from the Pennsylvania Developmental Disabilities Council.

The new Fitness and Health Project grant will allow the center to improve the accessibility and inclusivity of local gyms and recreation centers.
