At the end of 2025, a rehab car was gifted to the Valley Health Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Tower, set to open in 2027. The tower will support inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, including physical, occupational and speech therapy, as well as orthotics and prosthetics services.

The vehicle gives patients a safe way to practice everyday movements, like getting in and out of a car or loading groceries, helping build confidence as they prepare for life after rehab.

Thank you to Tri-State Nissan and Valley Health Foundations for making this meaningful addition possible.

After more than two decades of bringing joy, connection, and purpose to our community, the Auxiliary Attic Thrift Shop closed its doors on Thursday, January 15th. Since opening in 2002, The Attic has been so much more than a thrift store—it’s been a place where generosity met gratitude, where volunteers and donors turned simple treasures into hope for countless patients and families. Through your support, proceeds have fueled initiatives like the Hope Fund at Wi******er Medical Center Cancer Center and the Stronger Together Campaign, contributing over $1 million to strengthen care at Wi******er Medical Center. While we say goodbye to this beloved chapter, we look forward with optimism. The Auxiliary Board is already planning new ways to continue its mission of compassion and community support—because the spirit of The Attic lives on in every act of kindness.
