For over 30 years, the North Central Health Foundation has provided important funding to North Central Health Care programs and services that has impacted the lives of many families and individuals throughout central Wisconsin – from newborn babies and adults with developmental disabilities, to those coping with mental illness, to the elderly living with dementia. The Foundation has purchased and supported a group home for people with mental illness, funded rehabilitation equipment to assist people in recovery and supported alcohol and drug awareness events in our communities. Because of the generosity of our community, the North Central Health Foundation has been able to create Voyages for Growth, a unique program providing travel experiences to individuals with developmental disabilities.
