3Rivers announces the retirement of
Executive Director Audrey Schremmer, and the appointment of Erica Christie to this position effective 12/28/2024. 

 It has been an honor to serve as Director of 3Rivers. I first came in June 1998 with a passion for ensuring that people with disabilities were treated with dignity, respect and were able to live full and meaningful lives in their communities. Human Rights that should be upheld for everyone! Along the way I encountered so many amazing people also advocating for these basic human rights. It's due to all these amazing individuals that 3Rivers has grown its capacity and had such a meaningful impact in our communities.
It was incredibly challenging at times, but worth the effort.  
Thank you all,
Audrey Schremmer 
(Executive Director 1998 - 2024)

​Talk About Community Impact! 
The 3Rivers' free medical equipment loan program just celebrated its 25th year of service. In the last 2 years alone, 3Rivers loaned 131 pieces of medical equipment, 68 of those pieces provided mobility supports. 3Rivers also connects community members wishing to donate equipment to those needing equipment.  If you have wheelchairs, shower chairs, portable ramps or other medical equipment gathering dust at your home you can donate it to 3Rivers.

We are so proud to show off the Spirit of Wamego train with it's accessible car.  This project was a culmination of years of advocating, brainstorming and yes, sometimes begging, but it's fully operational now!  The smiles in the video below say it all....
