Richland Center, WI – The Richland Hospital and Clinics’ Therapy Department added the latest version of the NuStep Recumbent Exercise Machine, a gift made possible from the generous support of Partners of The Richland Hospital and Clinics.

“This contribution will significantly enhance rehabilitation services and patient care at the Frank F. Mohr Rehabilitation Center,” says Shelly Maxwell, BS, CEP (certified exercise physiologist). “The NuStep provides patients with a high-quality, low-impact exercise option that supports mobility, strength, and confidence in their rehabilitation journey,” Maxwell continues. “It is an asset that will benefit our community for many years to come.”

The donation comes at a pivotal time as the Therapy Department continues to modernize and improve its facilities. Recent upgrades include new flooring in the therapy gym, private treatment rooms, a refreshed waiting area with new furniture, reconfigured gym space for better storage and efficiency, and more.
“These improvements reflect our commitment to providing the highest quality care in a comfortable, patient-friendly setting,” Maxwell added.

Partners of The Richland Hospital and Clinics, a 100% volunteer group that has served the community for 60 years, funded the purchase through proceeds from the Lobby Shoppe, a boutique gift shop located inside the hospital. “We are honored to support the incredible work the therapy department does for patients right here in Richland Center,” adds Cindy Chicker, president of Partners. “This is a great example of how the funds raised through the Lobby Shoppe are given back to support the community,” Chicker explained.

The Partners group is always welcoming new members with a service spirit. “We are deeply grateful for this generous gift and for the continued support of our mission,” said Maxwell.
