N. E. W. Curative’s largest programs continue to be adult day care, wraparound and job placement.

The agency expands its Alzheimer’s day programs by adding an additional space for 12-18 people, due to an ever-increasing waiting list.

A $1 million capital campaign is launched to purchase the building at 1538 Western Avenue, later named the cloud Family Care Center. Community-based supportive day programs and daily living skills programs are now the agency’s largest service areas, with 406 people actively receiving services in Brown and Door Counties.

The year begins with excitement attributed to the “Frozen Tundra” sale. The agency not only receives more than $50,000 from the proceeds of the sale, but also packages the sacred sod…and reaps the benefits of this public relations bonanza.

Curative’s head injury program receives “1994 Outstanding Rehabilitation Program Award” from Rehabilitations Facilities of Wisconsin.

Curative changes its name to N.E.W. Curative Rehabilitation, Inc. to separate itself from other organizations with similar names and to become more area-specific.

With coordination from various community groups, businesses and labor unions, the new Curative facility on South Webster opened.

Following discussions with community organizations and government agencies, the board of directors decides to expand Curative’s services to include all disability groups.

A new facility is built to provide more services.

Curative opens its doors on January 2 at 1001 Cherry Street in Green Bay. Approximately 200 individuals, mainly people affected by polio, received physical therapy the first year of operation.

Interest in creating a facility to provide therapy began in a meeting of the Brown County Welfare Council. After a study determined a facility was feasible in Green Bay, the Altrusa Club and other organizations established Curative Rehabilitation Center.
