Nonprofit Overview
Causes: General Hospitals, Health
Mission: To raise funds for programs, services and equipment for rancho los amigos patients and their families. It is the mission of the foundation to help pediatric and adult patients, whose lives have been forever changed through disabling injuries or illnesses, experience the restoration of health, the rebuilding of lives, and the revitalization of hope.
Programs: Rancho los amigos national rehabilitation center: a medical rehabilitation and research hospital dedicated to improving the quality of life for persons with disabilities. The rancho los amigos foundation philanthropically supports rancho los amigos national rehabilitation center by funding patient centered services and programs to help meet the needs of the hospital's diverse disabled population, allowing these patients to receive treatments and programs that are unfunded by insurance or are otherwise outside of the financial means of the patient or outside of traditional los angeles county funding practices.
rancho day rehabilitation & wellness center: a comprehensive, intensive outpatient program for individuals with physical or neurological impairment from spinal cord injury, stroke, brain injury, or other neurological disorders. The wellness center focuses on maximizing a patient's recovery of function and successful participation in self-care, home and community activities through individually tailored interdisciplinary programs. This foundation continues to support this program because it enables thousands of rancho patients to experience the restoration of health, the rebuilding of their lives, and the revitalization of their hope.
know barriers program: the foundation provides operating support for the know barriers program to continue providing peer mentoring services for all rancho inpatients (newly injured or disabled) and many rancho outpatients. Services include bedside peer mentoring for patient/family support, participation in patient education, skill demonstration, escorting patients returning for outpatient appointments, therapy groups, community outings, and phone calls to check on patients after they are discharged.
