Wray Rehabilitation and Activities Center, Inc.Statement of Program Service AccomplishmentsFootnote IDecember 31, 2023The Wray Rehabilitation and Activities Center, Inc. (WRAC) recorded 799 members at year-end 2023. The WRACs total usage in 2023 averaged 3,827 uses per month including classes, programs, physical therapy, massage therapy, fundraising and special events, meeting room rentals and member/facility users. Members and daily users participated in health and wellness, education, fitness, and physical rehabilitation services. Its nice to see our numbers climbing back up and staying consistent, even through the winter months. Our daily users average about 156 per month, as we are starting to see more of our regular daily users sign up for memberships to take advantage of the savings. We also offer a variety of different types of memberships and punch cards; we have several opportunities available to meet anyones lifestyle and usage pattern.Our partnership with the local Yuma County Extension Office with the Yuma County Health Challenge and the City of Wray Recreation Department for our Tots of Fun Program for children ages 1 through 4 and continue to be highly desirable. Due to the high number of participants the WRAC has also partnered with the East Yuma County Historical Society (Wray Museum) to help with increased attendance, and this has made a tremendous difference. We also partner with the Wray School District to operate all our PHIT Program (Kid, MY, Summer Camp). During the school year the district provides us with a room in their nutrition building and space in a gym for physical activities and games. Children interested in the program but lacking the means of a parent or guardian providing transportation from the school to the WRAC has been resolved through this great partnership. During the PHIT Summer Camp the school provides transportation with the use of a bus and bus driver to take the children participating on a field trip once a month. These trips range from a local day of fishing and a tour of the fish hatchery, to learning how to shoot a bow and discussion with a Wildlife Officer on animal conservation. The facility has two full-time meeting rooms; usage of those was about 121 times for over 1,302 uses. The Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts and Brownies and one 4-H Group hold their meetings and numerous activities at the WRAC. We also support and provide rooms for the Push America (Journey of Hope) The Ability Experience bicycle team, Illini 4000 bicycle team, the Wracer Canyon Run, and the Swim Team. Although the Wracer Canyon Run, which is sponsored by the local Lions Club was unable to hold a run in 2023, once again, due to the age and number of the current Lions Club members. The Lions Club is actively recruiting more members and has been in discussion with the City and other agencies in hopes that some organization will step forward and help get this event back on track. As far as Senior Programming in 2023, Warm Water AFAP classes, Older Adult Yoga Class and Senior Wellness Walkers have seen increased participation. FCCLA students who provided breakfast and activities for all of our Senior Walkers resumed their periodic get-togethers. As the year went on they saw an increase in the number of participants as well. In giving back to the community, Wray Community District Hospital provides FREE Blood Pressure Checks for senior citizens once a month at our facility. Besides the physical aspect of what our programs and services offer there is a huge effect on individuals mental and social health that is just as important as their physical health. We are working hard to develop a program that will target mental wellness across multiple age groups, to better serve all health and wellness aspects within the community. Also in 2023, expansion of the much-anticipated Free Weight Room started and is on schedule for completion in early 2024. We are excited to FINALLY give our members the space they have been asking for while meeting ADA requirements for a wider range of our current and prospective members.The WRAC continues to live their mission Providing Opportunities to Improve the Health of Our Community.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2023 – Dec 31, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$501.7KProgram 1 [2024]
