This summer, Danny Bonsignore and Caden Dargo (Class of 2025 DPT students and Pitt PT Student Service Board leaders) participated at Fresh Air Camp in Ohio’s Greater Cleveland area. This was an incredible weeklong camp that offered children with respiratory conditions and those using tracheostomy tubes or ventilators a safe, fun, and empowering experience.

Community engagement like this makes a meaningful difference for kids and families while helping DPT students grow as future physical therapists!

👏 Way to go, Danny and Caden!
