Hitchcock Rehabilitation Center’s Early History in Aiken
The Hitchcock Rehabilitation Center began as a local Society for Crippled Children and Adults chapter in 1953 with Audley Ward as organizing chair. It opened a treatment center in 1956 offering rehabilitative care, later built the present facility in 1963, and evolved into an independent local charity named for the Hitchcock family. The center now provides home health services, therapy, and support for handicapped children, stroke and orthopedic clinics, and equipment lending, funded by United Fund donations and gifts.
