NeuroHope: 2018 Brackets For Good Champions!

/in , , /by

WE DID IT!! Each one of YOU made NeuroHope the 2018 BRACKETS FOR GOOD CHAMPIONS!!  We are still in awe at the support that flooded in for our cause throughout this MONTH LONG tournament.  Round by round, you carried us past 63 other fantastic charities to the very end. In total, we raised $80,088 AND took home the $10,000 grand prize.  SIMPLY STUNNING!

As one of the smaller charities in the tournament, we were seeded in the “Least Resources / Least Awareness” division.  This meant we were seeded low and faced some difficult competition.  But, THANKS TO YOU, we wore our Cinderella slipper well.  The final round was edge-of-your seat entertainment.  A NeuroHope  “war room” was set up at the Incrediplex As the donations poured in throughout the closing seconds, the LAST PLAY put us over the top for a thrilling $42,339 – $40,207 final round victory.  CHECK OUT THE VIDEO OF THE CLOSING SECONDS BELOW!

Throughout this campaign we totaled:

  • 716 donations
  • 123 First time donors
  • A grand total of $90,088

We are proud and humbled that our mission to provide affordable, extended rehabilitation for neurologic injury is striking a chord in our community and we have all of you to thank.

A special shout-out is dedicated to our corporate teammates at Incrediplex and Hensley Legal Group, who helped make this improbable championship run a reality!

What a month. THANK YOU ALL!

Open House Thanks! and ‘Brackets For Good’ Tip-off!

/in , /by

The NeuroHope Team would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who made it to our Open House on Friday night! The outpouring of support was more than we imagined. Nearly 300 of you toured our gym and packed the Incrediplex auditorium to hear our story, learn about our services, and be inspired by our clients – and 1,300 MORE of you tuned into our feed on Facebook Live.

You recognize the impact we are having on the lives of our clients and you are rallying around us!

At the Open House we shared our journey, and explained our expansion to a new gym thanks to support from the Indiana Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Research Fund from the State Department of Health.  This has allowed us to begin a research project with the University of Indianapolis Krannert School of Physical Therapy, and join the prestigious Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation NeuroRecovery Network as 1 of 11 worldwide affiliates that collaborate and provide innovative treatment and extended physical therapy and wellness after neurologic injury!

While this expansion has enabled us to grow – our mission continues to be focused on providing affordable care for those that need it.  That means community support is the foundation of our services!

How You Can Help:

We are giving Brackets For Good another run this year!  And we need YOUR help in the FUNDRAISING starting this Friday, March 2!

Brackets For Good is a weekly “competition” between charities to raise funds each week, with a chance to advance through the bracket (think college basketball’s March Madness) to a $10,000 grand prize (in addition to keeping all funds raised).  Last year we raised $54,000 and made a run to the tournament Final Four!  View this year’s bracket here!   Let’s win it this year – and secure funds for our new gym!!

Donations can be made online as soon as the tournament starts, and you can watch the scores update REAL-TIME.  Stay tuned to our newsletters, and follow us on Facebook for updates!  We will let you know when the giving begins!

Welcome To Our New Home at the Incrediplex!

/in , /by

It has been a busy fall of packing and renovating – but our relocation is complete and we are thrilled to be seeing clients at our new gym at 6002 Sunnyside Rd. We are proud to have fostered a partnership with the Incrediplex at their sports and entertainment complex. Their team did a tremendous job with construction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The new space features a front desk / waiting zone, two large therapy areas, therapy offices, FES station, gym space for our wheelchair gym, NuSteps, cable machine and SCIFit Arm/leg cycle, a PowerPlate for vibration training, adaptable Total Gym, and more.  Additionally, there is an area cut specifically for our gait training treadmill system when it arrives later this year and we become an affiliate of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation NeuroRecovery Network.

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

We are now open 5 days per week, and are excited to ramp up scheduling as we begin a research program with the University of Indianapolis in the coming months!

Reynolds American “Day of Caring” at NeuroHope

/in /by

Last month, I received a phone call from Isaac Keplinger, a senior division manager at Reynolds American Inc.  He told me that he heard about NeuroHope, looked us up, and was in awe of what we were creating for Indianapolis.

Isaac has lived through neurologic injury.   He has traveled the difficult road to recovery following traumatic brain injury, and has learned first-hand that options for continued care are limited.

He told me that NeuroHope’s mission affected him deeply – and he wanted to help!

Isaac’s team at Reynolds American chose to support NeuroHope for their annual “Day of Caring”, an outreach project to give back to local causes through a day of volunteer work.  With our move to the Incrediplex gym around the corner – the timing was perfect!  Their team arrived on-site first thing in the morning, and broke ground on the future site of the “NeuroHope Garden” in front of our new gym.

Brush was cleared, weeds were pulled, stumps were removed, branches and bushes were trimmed.  They worked through the rain, they worked through lunch, and the end result was spectacular!

Isaac had this to say about the afternoon:

“Our day spent giving back to NeuroHope was nothing short of amazing!  I am fortunate to work for an organization that allows their employees to donate time supporting local organizations of our choice that we are passionate about. For my team’s “Day of Caring” we decided to support NeuroHope of Indiana based on their passion to drive change within the healthcare arena and help the far too many underserved individuals that are subjected to a multitude of constraints in today’s healthcare and insurance marketplace. Unfortunately, in today’s world, organizations like NeuroHope are rarities. They continually sacrifice so much, to focus their passion and talents to serve others; delivering hope in the process.  Chris and everyone at NeuroHope are trailblazers that continue to effect change”.

I can’t thank Isaac and his team enough for reaching out and spending their day to help prepare our new home at the Incrediplex.

IT WAS A JOB WELL DONE!!

 

 

 

NeuroHope Moving to the Incrediplex!

/in , /by

It’s official! NeuroHope is moving October 1st!  Walls are being torn down, ceilings altered, and construction is underway to provide our clinic with a new home as we ramp up and expand services for 2018.

We are proud to partner with the Incrediplex, a 4-acre sports and entertainment complex in Lawrence (6002 Sunnyside Rd.) that is building our new gym attached to their existing wellness center on the east end of their “Incredible” campus.  The dream we had four years ago to open a hybrid rehabilitation / wellness clinic for people living with neurologic injury is becoming a reality this fall.  In moments like these, when the work and sacrifices made over the years come to fruition, we pinch ourselves and hope we don’t wake up!

We are also honored to have been formally invited by the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation NeuroRecovery Network (NRN) to join their prestigious collaboration of rehabilitation / wellness centers.  NRN sites implement state-of-the-art therapy and wellness programs tied to evidence-based practices uniquely performed and researched at the best rehabilitation centers in the world, including The Shepherd Center (Atlanta), Craig Hospital (Denver), Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation (New Jersey), and Frazier Rehabilitation Institute (Louisville).

NeuroHope will be the 12th NRN site, and the 6th independent gym in the world (not tied to a clinical hospital system) that will be participating in unique NRN programs and providing patients with affordable post-acute therapy and exercise.

We have already started to practice some of the NRN’s exclusive Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) sessions.  These pictures show two of our rockstar patients (Nathan and Mark) standing while hooked up to 12 channels of stimulation.  The bottom picture shows the NRN treadmill system that will be at NeuroHope after our move!

As a NRN satellite, we will be collecting data at NeuroHope and will be teaming with researchers from the University of Indianapolis to track outcome measures and program satisfaction.

(Much more on THIS exciting development soon!)

When NeuroHope opened its doors two years ago, our vision including bringing a NRN site to Indiana. It seemed far-fetched.  This fall, it too, will be a reality thanks to support from organizations like the University of Indianapolis, the OrthoIndy Foundation and our many sponsors and supporters.

We are ready!
