NeuroRehab Endowment

There are many exciting and inspiring things happening at Providence St. Joseph Hospital Foundation. We’re glad to share them with you.

Those facing spinal cord injury, stroke, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s, MS, and more will benefit from these expanded services.

Keeping NeuroRehab Patients Close to Home

Mobility issues, fine motor skills, and speech are not always the biggest challenges for patients in need of neurorehab. A loss of personal dignity caused by these changes can be devastating and deeply affect a patient’s motivation and will to go on.

Our highly trained and compassionate physical therapists, along with generous donors like you, are giving dignified therapy to patients in need of hope at the Harry Hardin Center.

Earnings from a permanent NeuroRehab Endowment would support:

Part-time Program Navigator/Patient Advocate
Rock Steady classes for patients with limited resources
Stroke Support Group services, facilitated by a social worker
Specialty Training/Advanced Technique Certification for therapists to keep care local
Community Class Development such as Adaptive Yoga, Tai Chi, dance, and more…

Benefiting from these services would include those facing spinal cord injury, stroke, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s, and MS. Supporting immediate needs and the NeuroRehab Endowment will continue to build an enduring legacy that future patients can count on.

Regaining a Zest for Life

When he first received the devastating diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, Fortuna resident Harry Hardin was not sure life was still worth living.

Unable to do so many things he once loved and feeling unsteady on his feet, Harry thought he was down for the count. Then he met the physical therapists in rehab at St. Joe’s.

Not only did Harry regain his strength, dignity, and zest for life, he started the Rock Steady Boxing program so that other patients in need of neurological rehabilitation could achieve the same success.
