The Wesley Community’s 50th Anniversary Celebrations

The Wesley Community first opened its doors to residents in 1972 and has been providing caring and compassion to all since those early days. In 2022, The Wesley Community celebrated its rich history as a vital aging services and health care provider for the region through a series of special events, fundraisers, and a sharing of the organization’s history.

50th Anniversary Documentary

The Wesley Community worked with LOOK TV to produce a video highlighting 50 years of serving others who need Wesley’s care. This touching tribute features stories from throughout five decades of care and compassion.

50th Anniversary Book

A commemorative book highlighting the stories of The Wesley Community was produced to honor and highlight 50 years of service. If you are interested in getting a copy of the book, please contact Kally Straus at kbstraus@thewesleycommunity.org.
