Mission Statement
By delivering comprehensive, integrated and person-centered rehabilitation, Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute maximizes quality of life for people of all ages and all abilities. We help people achieve health and wellness by offering excellent services, innovative programs, ground-breaking research and barrier-shattering advocacy.
We are guided by our vision that one day all people will live, work, learn and play in a community based on abilities, not disabilities.
Our goal is to build a broad and effective rehabilitation and disabilities services network, dedicated to achieving meaningful results for individuals living with disabilities and chronic conditions, and for our community at large. Courage Kenny works with individuals to reach their unique goals to improve physical function, decrease isolation and expand community perceptions of what is possible for individuals living with disabilities or functional limitations.
