(KAIR)--An effort of expansion begins at Valley Hope of Atchison, with the non-profit treatment center launching the Bridge to Recovery Capital Campaign, a $6.8 million project designed to expand and renovate its campus to meet growing community needs.
Since 1972, Valley Hope of Atchison has, the treatment facility's website says, served as a trusted resource for recovery, helping more than 1,100 patients each year. Today, demand for its nationally recognized care has outpaced available space, prompting plans for significant upgrades.
Phase One of the campaign, totaling more than $5.3 million, will transform a newly acquired building into a Clinical Care Center featuring expanded counseling areas, a healing courtyard, and a connecting bridge to the main campus.
Phase Two, a $1.45 million renovation, will modernize the residential building with improved nursing and detox facilities, a new admissions suite, and a lower-level patient lounge.
Once funds are raised and work completed, the expansion will improve patient comfort, privacy, and safety, while adding indoor and outdoor recreation spaces, dedicated therapy rooms, and space for alumni events — enhancing both patient and staff satisfaction across the campus.
