Team members of Shore Regional Health’s Requard Center for Acute Rehabilitation are planning the Center’s 10th anniversary celebration set for Wednesday, June 20, 2-4:30 p.m. in the Requard Center Dining Room (5th floor, UM Shore Medical Center at Easton).

F. Graham Lee, UM SRH vice president, Philanthropy, is shown with Eleanor Requard at the RCAR’s 5th anniversary celebration. Mrs. Requard and her late husband Tom provided a $1 million gift to support the creation of the Requard Center for Acute Rehabilitation in UM Shore Medical Center at Easton

According to Teresa Blem, director, Comprehensive Rehabilitation Services, the occasion will celebrate Requard’s 10 years of service providing rehabilitative care to approximately 600 patients every year, and also the Center’s recent achievement of re-accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).

“The occasion will be an open house-style event and we are inviting former Requard patients as well as our colleagues and co-workers to come by to celebrate with us,” says Blem. “Any team member, volunteer or community member who knows of a former Requard  patient who might like to attend is encouraged to get in touch with me, ext. 2104, or Erin Scheele, ext. 2516, so we can reach out to him or her to extend an invitation.”
