Allied Services Receives $150,000 Grant from William G. McGowan Charitable Fund to Support Pediatric Rehabilitation

Allied Services Foundation is honored to announce a generous grant of $150,000 from the William G. McGowan Charitable Fund. The grant will support general operations in sustaining access to pediatric therapies at their John P. Moses, Esq. Pediatric Rehab Centers, a vital part of Allied Services' continuum of care for children across Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania.

This essential funding reaffirms the Fund’s commitment to expanding access to critical healthcare services. On May 21, Gert C. McGowan, Esq., Board Member of the McGowan Charitable Fund, toured the John P. Moses Pediatric Rehab Center in Scranton and witnessed firsthand the transformative care being provided.

“You are doing more than therapy – you are truly changing lives,” said Gert C. McGowan, Esq., following the visit.

The grant will help Allied Services continue delivering high-quality, evidence-based therapies for children facing developmental delays, neurological conditions, and physical disabilities.

“We are incredibly grateful for the William G. McGowan Charitable Fund’s ongoing support,” said Atty. Bill Conaboy, President and CEO, Allied Services. “This funding is vital to ensuring that children in our community - regardless of their financial circumstances - can continue to receive the life-changing therapies they need to reach their fullest potential.”

The support comes at a time when demand for pediatric rehabilitation services continues to grow, making it imperative for Allied Services to maintain both access and excellence in care. The partnership with the McGowan Charitable Fund will allow Allied Services to invest in resources that strengthen outcomes for children and their families.
