CTOs on the Move

Curative has grown from being housed in a one-room cottage to a comprehensive human services organization offering programs and services at multiple community-based sites throughout Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties. Curative was founded on May 12, 1919 when Elizabeth Upham Davis and the Junior League started the Curative Workshop for restoration therapy. Davis` vision to provide what is known today as occupational therapy grew from treating first children, and later adults, in a small cottage. On April 9, 1931, the Junior League turned the project over to the community and the Curative Workshop of Milwaukee became an incorporated, not-for-profit agency.
