Warm Water Wellness Inc was born out of a need to advocate for the reopening of The Mack E. Mickelson Arthritis and Rehabilitation Center at Mills Health Center in San Mateo. This important, well-used and much beloved community resource is a fully accessible facility that was entirely financed by $4 million in community donations over 25 years ago.
Citing the worldwide COVID pandemic, Sutter closed the Mickelson Center in March 2020 and permanently closed the facility in 2021. Sutter has shown a lack of transparency while offering shifting explanations for their decision to make the closure permanent.
In October 2021, a small group of former pool users and supporters joined to advocate for the reopening of the Mickelson therapy pool and the construction of additional pools. WWW Inc received its IRS determination letter as a public charity in April 2022.
A petition on change.org calling for the reopening of the Mack E. Mickelson Arthritis and Rehabilitation Center in San Mateo was started in June 2021. It has more than 5,000 signatures as of April 2023.
