Grant Highlight: In 2026, the Board of St. Margaret Foundation provided funding to revitalize an essential space on the rehabilitation unit called the Activities of Daily Life (or ADL) room. Located on 4A, this space is used to practice basic skills that patients in this unit often need to re-learn after procedures in order to be safely discharged. New cabinets, fresh floors, and a new practice window allow patients to build essential skills in a welcoming and productive environment.

Thank you to our incredible donors for making grants like this possible. We could not do this without you.
