The Mickelson Arthritis and Rehabilitation Center in San Mateo.
Groundbreaking is scheduled to begin Saturday on repair work for the Mickelson Center's warm water therapy pool in San Mateo, according to Sutter Health officials.
The pool was slated for permanent closure during the pandemic by Sutter Health but was granted a reprieve after a well-organized community campaign to save it.
"Many in need of this warm water therapy pool were told it would close forever but Sutter has listened to the community and is keeping its promise to rehabilitate Mickelson and open it back up to the community in July," San Mateo County Supervisor David Canepa said.
The warm pool is the only one in San Mateo County that is wheelchair-accessible and "specifically designed for therapeutic use by seniors, adults and children with chronic pain or disabilities, patients recovering from surgery, pregnant women, and others who find the warm water healing," Canepa said in a news release Friday.
Canepa will be on hand for the groundbreaking ceremony, along with Lindsay Raike, founder of Warm Water Wellness, which organized the effort to save the pool.
The event kicks off at noon at 75 S. El Camino Real in downtown San Mateo.
