Some of their activities include monthly flat-water paddles on Mission Bay both for patients at Balboa Medical Center as part of their recovery program and for local Veterans dealing with any of the injuries that occurred while they were in a theater of war or afterward.  They can bring family and friends, and participants seeking the therapeutic benefits of paddling do not have to be a Veteran.n
