Windwood’s 110-acre, rural setting offers experiential therapies to foster the recovery process.  The highly-trained staff utilizes the natural environment, as well as animal-assisted therapy, to enhance each child’s physical, social, and psychological well-being.  Clients are taught wholesome new life-skills that enable them to become more successful, fully functioning members of their community.  

Children often come to Windwood unable to do well in a regular classroom. Their traumatic backgrounds have caused or exacerbated learning problems. Masters-level teachers team up with Windwood’s staff and volunteers in specialized classrooms to address these issues so students can begin to realize their learning potential.

For the past year Sewee Family Medicine has been a business partner with WWF School House, providing incentives for teachers to use with their students.

Sarah Jamme, coordinating teacher, contacted Dr. Knepper and Dr. Anderson at Sewee Family Medicine after learning her students may not receive flu shots. Both doctors agreed to donate flu shots to all Windwood Farm children. On Oct. 12, students took a field trip with Windwood staff to Sewee Family Medicine and received their flu shots and treat bags.  

“There is often a forgotten side to life as well as medicine, those less fortunate or those faced with social circumstances beyond their control.  These are often children with social/behavioral issues or victims of abuse.  A group of unheralded heroes have devoted their lives to nurturing these children back to emotional health. We at Sewee Family Medicine consider it a privilege to be associated with Windwood Farm and their school.  By providing assistance with these children’s healthcare needs, it is our way of helping these children keep a healthy foundation on the road to rebuilding their lives,” said  Dr. John Knepper.
