A Look Inside
A Spirit of Generosity
In April 1888, Cincinnati leaders met to discuss the need for a “home for incurables.” By 1890, we opened our doors. Since then, Pogue Ave has been a sanctuary for those with tremendous challenges.
"Fundraising events like bazaars and charity balls built our endowment, allowing us to build our current home in 1968 without borrowing—a testament to community love."
