Building a Stronger Future for Rehabilitation at MCH

The Therapy Expansion Project is underway at Memorial Community Hospital, where we are creating a brand-new, modern therapy space within the hospital to better meet the growing rehabilitation needs of our community. Construction is in progress, with completion anticipated in Spring 2026. This new department will offer expanded treatment areas, increased privacy, improved patient flow, updated equipment, and the region’s first aquatic therapy pool—all designed to support patients on their journey back to strength, mobility, and independence.

Thanks to the generosity of community members, patients, families, local businesses, and MCH staff, our vision for exceptional therapy close to home is becoming a reality. The MCH Foundation is working to raise $1 million toward this $3.7 million project, and we are grateful for every contribution that brings us closer to that goal.

This page will be updated regularly with campaign progress, newly claimed naming opportunities, and donor recognition updates. We invite you to check back often to see the momentum grow!
