2024 Annual report by Sheltering Arms

National Recognition

Sheltering Arms Institute Ranked #1 in Virginia and #19 in the Nation

After joining the nation’s top 50 Best Rehabilitation Hospitals in 2023 in its first year of eligibility, Sheltering Arms Institute is ranked the 19th best rehabilitation hospital in the country and #1 in Virginia by U.S. News & World Report in 2024.

U.S. News evaluated 1,049 rehabilitation hospitals for the 2024-2025 rankings. Results were based on several factors, including clinical outcomes, quality of care, and expert opinion. Sheltering Arms Institute exceeded national averages among the top 50 rehab hospitals in several key metrics, including the percentage of patients who return home

following their rehabilitation stay and the number of patients served following strokes, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, and neurological conditions.

This recognition is not just the result of the dedicated efforts of our team members, but an achievement made possible by the support of our patients, caregivers, donors, volunteers, and community partners. Together, we continue to create a legacy of exceptional care, and this milestone is a reflection of our commitment to healing our community.

Graduate to Community 76%

Patients who receive physical rehab at Sheltering Arms Institute have a higher chance of returning home versus returning to acute care or going to a skilled nursing facility, for example.

Top Workplace Award 195

Inpatient Therapy Minutes Per Weekday

Research has found that individuals who receive more therapy per day following illness or injury have better outcomes than those who receive fewer hours.*

* Brain Injury Association of America

Sheltering Arms Institute also earned the Top Workplaces USA Award in 2024 issued by Energage, a purpose-driven organization that develops solutions to build and brand Top Workplaces. Top Workplaces USA celebrates organizations with 150 or more employees that have built great cultures. More than 42,000 organizations were invited to participate in the Top Workplaces USA survey. Winners are chosen based solely on employee feedback gathered through an employee engagement survey.

“This recognition belongs to our team members. Their focus on reinventing rehabilitation, and their embrace of the core values, has created a culture that delivers exceptional patient outcomes.”

Community Access

Second Bus Joins Club Rec Family

The Club Rec day recreation program welcomed a new addition this year: a brand-new bus, expanding our ability to offer community outings to more members. These outings offer members the chance to engage with and explore the community in ways that may otherwise be inaccessible to them. Previously, the sole Club Rec bus could only accommodate two wheelchair users, limiting the number of non-ambulatory members who could join each outing. With the addition of the new bus—made possible by The Titmus Foundation, the Emily & Coleman Hunter Trust, and Elisabeth Reed Carter—a total of six wheelchair users are now able to enjoy these enriching experiences.

THANKS TO THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF OUR DONORS and their unwavering commitment to inclusivity, we have significantly enhanced our ability to provide more accessible and inclusive outings for our Club Rec members!

- Ronnie Hilliard, Team Member

GRTC Bus Stop Added to Sheltering Arms Institute’s Main Campus

The hospital campus, located off Broad Street just west of Short Pump, is loaded with amenities: advanced therapeutic technologies, private patient rooms, multiple gyms, a pharmacy, a chapel, and more. In partnership with community leaders and the Greater Richmond Transit Company (GRTC), there is a new amenity: a public bus stop! The #19 bus arrives at the corner of Wilkes Ridge Drive and Wilkes Ridge Circle every 30 minutes Monday through Saturday and every 60 minutes on Sundays.

Adding public transportation benefits community members who want to visit loved ones, as well as team members who seek an affordable and convenient way to get to and from work. Café team member Ronnie Hilliard used to walk nearly a mile to and from the old GRTC bus stop to get to work every day. Now, with this new addition, his work commute is much shorter.

Patient Story: Ivan Vargas

First Person on the East Coast to Receive Personal Exoskeleton Covered by Medicare

In 2020, Ivan Vargas was helping his son-in-law renovate their home when he fell through the ceiling, tumbling to the first floor below resulting in a T10 spinal cord injury (SCI) and paralyzing him from the waist down.

For individuals like 71-year-old Vargas who have experienced a SCI or other neurological injuries, robotic exoskeletons can provide numerous physical and psychological benefits such as maintaining range of motion, improving blood pressure and cardiovascular function, and increasing bone density. FDAapproved robotic exoskeletons have been available to use during in-clinic therapy appointments for years; however, a change in the

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) 2024 Home Health Rule allows individuals the opportunity to now apply for Medicare coverage for their very own personal devices, making the devices financially attainable and providing hope for newfound independence.

Vargas—who uses the Ekso Bionics Indego—was the first person on the East Coast to apply for Medicare coverage for his device. He and his wife completed a rigorous 40-hour training program at Sheltering Arms Institute’s Hanover outpatient center to ensure they were ready to take the device home and safely use it on their own.

It is a life changer for me. I can go to church, I can go see my grandkids play sports, I can volunteer my time someplace. It will be a freedom for me to be able to walk.

BLAST FROM THE PAST Time Capsule from 1980s Uncovered

In summer 2024, during construction to expand Veritas School’s campus in Richmond’s Northside, a time capsule was discovered at the site of Sheltering Arms’s former Palmyra Hospital.

Buried on Sheltering Arms’s 99th anniversary on February 13, 1988, the time capsule contained items from the hospital’s groundbreaking in 1963 and expansion in 1988, including swim goggles, a medical record from 1906, a nursing recruitment letter, brochures and newsletters, a Bal du Bois invitation, and a history book from our first 60 years (1889-1949).

Reflecting on our organization’s rich history, we celebrate the future with excitement of what is to come as we continue to grow and proudly serve our community.

A Heartfelt Thank You!

Going for Gold

Thank you to all our incredible donors who helped us achieve a recordbreaking, Olympic-themed Giving Day! Just like champions striving for gold, your generosity and dedication propelled us past our participation and fundraising goals.

Thanks to the generous support of our community and the anonymous matching challenge gifts received by the Foundation, we raised more than $240,000, doubling our original goal of $120,000!

Your contributions are more than just numbers—they are the fuel behind

Bringing Home the Gold!

our Margin of Excellence programs, ensuring access to innovative rehabilitation technology, lifechanging community programs, and essential services that insurance may not cover. Every donation strengthens our ability to help individuals reclaim their independence and reach new heights.

Together, we brought home the Giving Day gold for those who rely on Sheltering Arms. Thank you for being champions of hope, healing, and possibility!
