OUR IMPACT: Helping a Vision Find Its Home

BADC’s relationship with NeuroBalance Center began in 2012, when founder Joy Wagner participated in our Resource Academy—asking questions, learning from BADC Board Members and building relationships that would help support the organization’s growth.

In 2015, Joy presented her vision to the BADC Board and identified two critical needs: developing a strong board and finding a permanent home for NeuroBalance Center.

Several BADC Board Members stepped forward to help guide the organization’s strategic planning. One served first as interim Board Chair and then as permanent Board Chair through 2023.

When NeuroBalance outgrew its existing space in 2016, BADC leaders also assisted with planning and the capital campaign for a free-standing facility. Ground was broken in January 2017, and the new NeuroBalance Center opened in Barrington later that year.

Today, NeuroBalance Center provides integrated, team-based care for people living with Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease and other conditions affecting balance and mobility. By bringing multiple services together in one location and offering transportation support, the center reduces barriers to care and helps its members live fuller, more independent lives.

This is what community impact can look like: sharing expertise, building the right relationships and helping an important vision become a lasting local resource.

🎗️🩷 Hope is Stronger than Cancer 🎗️🩷

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a powerful reminder of the strength, resilience and hope shared by fighters, survivors and loved ones 🎀💗

Sadly, 1 in 8 women in the U.S. is diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Early detection and community support matter more than ever! No one fights alone and every small action - from scheduling a routine check-up to supporting vital research brings us closer to a cure.

"The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it." - C.C. Scott

Let us honor the survivors, lift up those currently in the fight and spread the word about early detection 🎗️🩷🎀
