💡 Did you know?

The Woodlands at Meth-Wick Community includes seven bariatric specialty suites, designed to support residents who are non-weight-bearing or require bariatric care.

These suites help address a gap in specialized care across Linn County and provide an important option for those who need it.

As a not-for-profit community, additions like these are made possible through the generosity of donors who help expand care for those we serve.

Meth-Wick has specialty bariatric rooms in Cedar Rapids available for area residents needing non-weight-bearing or bariatric accommodations.

We have been busy with crafts across campus this past month!

We made a fused glass suncatcher where our special guest, John MacDonald, brought in all the supplies we needed and is going to fire them in the kiln for us!

We also made some paper rose windows, no-sew pillows, and did some rock painting.
