NEW! Acute Rehabilitation Center

In September 2009, a new Acute Rehabilitation Center opened at the Davies Campus, with one floor dedicated to brain injury and stroke rehabilitation, and the other dedicated to spine injuries and general rehabilitation.

Every detail of this exciting new space was designed with rehabilitation in mind, including private patient rooms and common therapy areas. It also features a well-designed staff area with full electronic medical records capability, and a glassed-in collaboration area to protect patient privacy and keep noise to a minimum. Please consider adding your support to this exciting new therapeutic healing environment.

Stroke Care and Interventional Neuroradiology

Philanthropy through CPMC Foundation supports the crucial work of Dr. Jeffrey Thomas, Medical Director of Interventional Neuroradiology. With the help of generous gifts, California Pacific Neuroscience Institute's Neurovascular and Neurointerventional Surgery Suite officially opened on October 5, 2009. One of only a handful nationwide, this suite is a rare example of a combined Neurointerventional and Microvascular operating environment, where doctors have a range of options at their fingertips to treat diseases like stroke, carotid stenosis and cerebral aneurysms. These treatments can even be combined or used sequentially without displacing the patient.

This unique NIR surgical suite expands our outstanding stroke interventional and neurosurgical service capabilities on the Davies Campus and extends them to every patient under our care. Please consider investing in this outstanding new arena of advanced technology and treatment.

Neuromuscular Research for ALS

Robert G. Miller, MD, Program Director of the Forbes Norris MDA/ALS Research Center, through generous philanthropic funding, was able to conduct an exciting new study on the uses of lithium in the treatment of patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Your contribution will support Dr. Miller's ongoing research in this critically important field.

The Archibald/Ehrenberg Rehabilitation Terrain Park

Since it opened in November 2007, The Archibald/Ehrenberg Terrain Park has become a staple in the course of therapy for inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services. Over these two years, hundreds of patients have benefited from the therapy they receive in this unique environment.

The Terrain Park was funded almost entirely by charitable contributions, including a generous donation from Dr. Kenneth C. Archibald, the former Chair of Rehabilitative Medicine at California Pacific Medical Center and is named in honor of Dr. Archibald and his deceased partner, Robert Ehrenberg. Your support of this healing environment, the first of its kind in the United States, will help more patients get on the road to recovery. Thank you!

Because life is precious, we encourage giving to life and a lifetime of giving.
