Charles E. Kubly FOCUS Center Dedicated
OCONOMOWOC, Wis. – Rogers Memorial Hospital recently held a ceremony to dedicate the Charles E. Kubly FOCUS Center, renaming the facility that houses the FOCUS residential treatment program.
The facility, undergoing final renovations, will have expanded capacity for up to 33 residents. FOCUS began in 2014 as an intensive residential program for young adults age 18 to 30 with depression and mood disorders who are having difficulty transitioning into adulthood. With this expansion, Rogers will move toward adding a track for adults over 30.
“We are extremely grateful to the Kublys for their generous $2.5 million gift which is helping us to better serve young adults with depression and mood disorders,” says Patrick R. Hammer, president and CEO of Rogers Behavioral Health System.
The Kubly gift will also support the building of a new transitional living facility which will provide FOCUS residents with a step-down treatment option where residents are able to return to school or work, while under the supervision of a therapeutic team. The donation will also contribute toward research for a computer-based treatment tool for depression.
The Rogers Memorial Hospital Foundation raises philanthropic support to ensure the future of the Hospital as it provides effective treatment for those suffering from mental illness. It also cultivates awareness of the hospital’s mission and builds long-term relationships for philanthropic support. One hundred percent of all donations directly support the hospital’s patients and Rogers Memorial treatment programs, providing long-term financial stability for the hospital.
