Curative Care Network

What Curative Care Network does

Curative Care Network, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, providing a continuum of disability and therapy services to children, adults, and seniors with developmental, cognitive, and physical disabilities. Founded in 1919, the organization operates seven community-based sites across Southeastern Wisconsin delivering Birth to Three early intervention (serving 2,500+ children annually), Children's Long-Term Support case management, outpatient pediatric therapy (physical, occupational, speech, aquatic), Adult Day Services (including the Club Curative program for young adults ages 18-29), and Commercial Services (assembly and landscape/maintenance contracts serving as vocational training). Revenue is generated through Wisconsin county and federally funded waiver programs (Birth to Three, CLTS, COP, Katie Beckett), supplemented by United Way allocations, individual and corporate donations, grants, and earned income from commercial contracts. Technology infrastructure is limited to a 2016-implemented EHR system for care coordination and standard SaaS tools; no proprietary technology platform or AI/ML capabilities are evidenced.

The organization holds CARF accreditation continuously since 1968, was the first US agency accredited in all four CARF areas of emphasis, and has been a United Way Agency Program Partner since 1926. Acquisitions include The Ranch Community Services (2006) and New Berlin Therapies (2015). Corporate operations are governed by a Board of Trustees with Candace L. Hennessy, PhD, RN serving as President and CEO since 2013. The 2019 divestiture of the 92nd Street building to Children's Wisconsin, followed by construction of the Curative Pediatric Therapy Center funded in part by a $50,000 Kohl's Cares grant, represents the most recent material capital reallocation. Go-to-market is community-led: referrals flow from Wisconsin DHS, county agencies, school districts, healthcare providers, and word-of-mouth among Milwaukee-area families.
