Your kids deserve the best care.
You deserve a place to match.
When our daughter had her stroke, our lives changed forever. Working through the challenges of life with cerebral palsy is a daily struggle. You may have had similar experiences with someone you love. With all the hardships, finding the ACQUIRE program at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute in Roanoke was a godsend. Their therapists are absolutely incredible—by far the best we have encountered. Since our first experience with them, we’ve come back to Roanoke every year, hopeful for the gains that are possible, and confident that we will be amazed by the results.
Our daughter casted for ACQUIRE
Of course, participating in intensive programs like ACQUIRE is not without its difficulties, especially for out-of-towners like us. After years of struggling to find good accommodations for our month-long stays, we opened the Goal Den to create a home in Roanoke—not just for us, but also for other families who travel here to receive the best treatment around for their children. We’ve met so many wonderful people throughout our journey, and it is our hope to give back to the community by opening our home to you. That’s why we’re committed to offering below-market rates for families visiting for therapy or medical care. So whether you’re coming for ACQUIRE or some other program, we hope that you see all the gains you’re working so hard for, and that you have a relaxing, fun, and rewarding stay while you’re here.
