Kenneth Feller in conjunction with Karl Fischer co-chaired a capital campaign in June of 1961 to raise $483,000 in funds for the construction of a long-term care facility in Vinton. At the time the facility became known as the "Annex". Currently, the facility goes by Virginia Gay Nursing and Rehab. Director of Nursing and Rehab, Jessica Henkle and her staff have received the highest accolades of care for long-term care facilities, most recently the Telligen Community Quality Champion Award after demonstrating a high level of commitment towards the overall health of the Vinton and surrounding communities during the COVID pandemic. Awards given have been for focus on hard work, passion and dedication to providing families, patients, neighbors and staff with the highest quality of care.
The Virginia Gay Nursing and Rehab facility opened on September 2, 1961. Barbara Feller Finch and her siblings Katherine and Paul send their appreciation of the recognition of their Father Kenneth Feller, stating our Dad (Kenneth Feller) was always active in Vinton projects. He had a special feeling for Vinton from the day of his arrival in 1941, he passed in 1972 at the age of 62.
It is with gratitude and honor that we name Kenneth Feller with the VGH Founders Class.
