History:
Hope Network offers a wide variety of services throughout Michigan. Beginning in 1960, an adjunctive therapy department (work experience) was established at Pine Rest Christian Hospital. This sheltered workshop grew into a network of workshops and groups homes. As Hope Network grew, so did the array of services, empowering people with disabilities and disadvantages to achieve their highest level of independence.
