Carolinas Rehabilitation
Excellence in P hysical Medicineand RehabilitationCarolinas Rehabilitation is one of the largest and most
comprehensive facilities of its kind in the Southeast, provid-
ing advanced customized care that enhances each patient’s
recovery. Carolinas Rehabilitation strives to achieve a three-
fold mission: to care for people with disabilities, offer
specialized training for physicians and other healthcare
providers, and conduct original research to minimize the
impact of disabling illnesses and trauma.
At the forefront of Carolinas Rehabilitation’s efforts is its
Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, comprised
of board certified physiatrists, medical doctors trained to
manage a variety of conditions including brain injury, stroke,
spinal cord injury, and amputation. This specialization
requires four years of training after medical school. Because
Carolinas Rehabilitation operates a residency training pro-
gram fully accredited for five years – a distinction shared by
less than 20% of training programs nationwide – the facility
attracts talented young physicians from around the country.
Fortunately, many of these physicians remain in the area to
provide needed services to the people of the Carolinas.
With the most comprehensive collection of sub-specialists in
the Southeast, Carolinas Rehabilitation serves as the regional
referral center for patients with catastrophic injuries. Several
staff physicians specialize in catastrophic care. Others are
devoted to pediatric rehabilitation, spinal cord injury and
brain injury.
Carolinas Rehabilitation also is one of only 16 centers in the
United States designated as a Traumatic Brain Injury Model
System by the National Institute for Disability and
Rehabilitation Research. This status recognizes the facility as a
Center of Excellence in research, clinical care, and education.
The Role of Charitable SupportThe Rehabilitation Research & Education Fund was established
to sustain and enhance Carolinas Rehabilitation’s tradition of
excellence in physical medicine and rehabilitation. This Fund
is dedicated to expanding resident education programs,
advancing notable faculty research and educational endeavors,
and supporting treatment innovations championed by Carolinas
Rehabilitation physiatrists.
GenerosityBy giving to the Rehabilitation Research & Education Fund,
you play a key role in expanding treatment options for
physically challenged patients throughout the Carolinas and
beyond. Whether you are a grateful patient, family member,
or simply a proponent of cutting edge rehabilitative medicine,
you can make a difference by helping sustain the locally-based
research and education programs that raise care to the highest
level at Carolinas Rehabilitation.
The Fund receives contributions through its charitable
foundation, Carolinas HealthCare Foundation. These gifts
may range from personal checks to gifts of securities and
charitable bequests. All are deductible for either income or
estate tax purposes, as allowed by IRS guidelines. Please refer
to the Guide to Giving (at right) for more information on
methods of contributing to the Rehabilitation Research &
Education Fund. Special gift plans may enable you to con-
tribute while retaining residual benefits for you and your heirs.
Guide to GivingCASH GIFTS
Donors often choose immediate gifts by check as the
simplest, most direct means of supporting the Rehabilitation
Research & Education Fund. These gifts, which may range
widely in amount, are often directed to specific areas of
the donor’s choice within Carolinas Rehabilitation.
GIFTS OF SECURITIES/REAL ESTATE
When considering a substantial gift to the Fund, you may
wish to review your securities and real estate holdings. If you
hold real estate or securities that have appreciated significantly
since their purchase, selling your holdings may trigger substantial
capital gains taxes. Donating these same securities or properties to
the Fund may enable you to take a tax deduction for their full
market value and also avoid capital gains taxes associated with
the sale.
PLANNED GIFTS THROUGH WILLS & TRUSTS
Another simple, effective option for philanthropic gifts is to
make them through a will or a charitable trust. Encouraged
by tax laws, bequests and trusts work particularly well
for those who would like to support the Rehabilitation
Research & Education Fund, but who do not wish to make
an immediate gift.
Carolinas HealthCare Foundation staff is pleased to consult
with you regarding gifts of securities and property or gifts
through wills and trusts.
Please write to Carolinas HealthCare Foundation (P.O. Box 32861, Charlotte, NC, 28232) if you wish to have your name removed
from the list to receive future fundraising requests.
