MILWAUKEE, WI — September 24, 2026 — Network Health is continuing its commitment to strengthening local communities through its participation in The Revitalize Project, a signature initiative of Revitalize that brings businesses, volunteers, and community partners together to complete critical home repairs for homeowners in need.

Through The Revitalize Project, participating organizations have the opportunity to make a direct, lasting impact by helping transform homes that have become unsafe due to needed repairs, accessibility concerns, and other critical issues. The program allows corporate partners to customize their engagement while working alongside Revitalize to improve the health, safety, and stability of local homeowners.

“When we come together with committed partners like Network Health, we can make an immediate and meaningful difference for homeowners who may not have the resources to address critical repairs on their own,” said Melanie Roach, CEO of Revitalize. “The Revitalize Project is about much more than repairing a house. It’s about creating a safe and healthy home, restoring dignity, and helping people remain independent in the communities they call home.”

“Network Health’s partnership with Revitalize reflects our commitment to making a meaningful difference in the communities it serves. Our partnership with Revitalize allows our team to roll up our sleeves and make a tangible difference for a local family,” said Kevin Borchert, Chief Actuary of Network Health and Revitalize Board Member. “Through collaboration and dedicated volunteer teamwork, we can transform a home and make a lasting impact for homeowners. It is incredibly rewarding for everyone involved, and we are proud to work alongside Revitalize to help make homes safer, stronger, and more sustainable in our local communities.”

The Revitalize Project was created to give corporate partners greater flexibility in determining how they want to engage with the community. Sponsors can select the timing, location, and homeowner population they want to support while working with Revitalize to develop a meaningful project. Volunteer teams of all skill levels can participate, with Revitalize providing project coordination and construction expertise.

Revitalize provides free critical home repairs and safety modifications to eligible low-income seniors, veterans, and individuals living with disabilities throughout Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties. The organization focuses on repairs that improve health, safety, and independence, including carpentry, minor electrical and plumbing repairs, and accessibility modifications such as grab bars and handrails.

“A safe and healthy home is foundational to a person’s ability to live independently and thrive,” Roach added. “We are grateful to Network Health for investing not only in a home, but in a homeowner, a family, and a stronger community.”

The Revitalize Project is part of Revitalize’s broader mission to provide free critical home repairs to low-income seniors, veterans, and individuals living with disabilities in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties.
