Rice Lake Community Health Foundation awards matching funds grant for patient scholarships to Nature’s Edge
Nature’s Edge Therapy Center has been awarded a $20,000 matching grant from the Rice Lake Community Health Foundation (RLCHF), designated for patient scholarships for therapy sessions. Each eligible patient may receive up to 12 treatment sessions funded by the RLCHF grant. The Foundation will disburse grant funding to Nature’s Edge for scholarship distribution as it is matched by contributions designated for Nature’s Edge. Donors are invited to contribute to the Nature’s Edge match.
The RLCHF grant award provides an exceptional opportunity for patients with financial need to receive therapy at Nature’s Edge. At Nature’s Edge, therapists focus on the development of skills necessary for each patient to achieve the highest possible level of independence and integration into school, family and society. Incorporating the natural setting, therapy animals and especially horses into treatment motivates and accelerates progress. Through the generosity and partnership of RLCHF and Nature’s Edge donors, this scholarship opportunity is available for patients.
