Franklin Street Chicago, IL EVENT PURPOSE SkyRise Chicago raises more than $1 million for the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, the number one rehabilitation hospital in the United States for the last 27 years. Formerly the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab is the first-ever translational research hospital where clinicians, scientists, innovators, and technologists work together in the same space, applying research real time. In our new research hospital, research does not just co-exist with patient care, it is integrated 24/7 into the clinical environment to drive breakthroughs in Human Ability. Funds from SkyRise help provide quality rehabilitation care to adults and children with a variety of physical diagnoses, and go to support the hospital s main initiatives, including: CLINICAL CARE We are recognized as the leader in physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R), treating over 55,000 patients per year through inpatient, outpatient and DayRehab programs. The research hospital specializes in post-acute treatment of a wide range of conditions including spinal cord injury, brain injury, neurological conditions, cancer, amputation, limb deficiency, Parkinson s disease, chronic pain, cerebral palsy and other movement disorders. REHABILITATION RESEARCH We have the largest private research center in PM&R in the world, where more than 300 research projects are currently underway. We seek to identify and develop the best new methods of treating patients for some of the most medically complex conditions in order to bring about better outcomes for the people we serve. MEDICAL EDUCATION The Shirley Ryan AbilityLab is committed to fostering the next generation of specialists in PM&R. Nearly all attending physicians are faculty members of Northwestern University s Feinberg School of Medicine, and we have one of the leading residency programs in the country in the field of PM&R, currently with 39 residents. In addition, our Academy provides continuing education programs in rehabilitation medicine to health care professionals from around the world. QUALITY-OF-LIFE PROGRAMS In order to serve patients, families, and members of the community, our research hospital offers a number of programs designed to enhance the quality of life of people living with conditions that affect ability. These programs include the LIFE Center, Vocational Rehabilitation Program, Sports and Fitness Center, the Wirtz Sports Program and Caring for Kids. PAGE 1
