Schoen Adams Research Institute at Spaulding Rehabilitation From the start of the Campaign, former Board Chair Scott Schoen and his wife, Nancy Adams, have demonstrated unprecedented commitment to Spaulding’s vision to transform rehabilitation medicine through pioneering research. Scott and Nancy made a $10 million lead gift—the largest in Spaulding’s 50-plusyear history—to inaugurate Spaulding Research Institute and name the Discovery Center for Recovery from Chronic Pain. They have continued to offer leadership, support, and advocacy for Spaulding’s efforts in scientific inquiry and innovation.

At our Stories of Strength gala celebration on September 8, 2022, which commemorated Spaulding’s 50th Anniversary and the close of the Campaign, we were delighted to announce that Spaulding Research Institute would be renamed the Schoen Adams Research Institute at Spaulding Rehabilitation in their honor.

Campaign by the Numbers The Campaign for Spaulding Research Institute In October 2016, we launched the Campaign for Spaulding Research Institute, a groundbreaking $75 million philanthropic effort to:

• accelerate the pace at which research discoveries are made • recruit, retain, and train the best investigators in the science of recovery • fuel translational rehabilitation science in five strategically focused, Institute-based Discovery Centers This comprehensive Campaign also raised funds for innovative clinical programming in rehabilitation medicine and other strategic Spaulding priorities, including our response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Campaign—the largest in Spaulding’s history—was co-chaired by Ann Merrifield and Barry Mills, whose exemplary leadership, advocacy, and resilience during one of the most challenging periods in healthcare were instrumental to achieving our ambitious goals.

We are grateful to all our donors for making the Campaign an overwhelming success, raising almost $95 million, of which more than $50 million specifically was allocated for rehabilitation research.

Unlocking the Biology of Recovery An innovative scientist and visionary leader, Dr. Ross Zafonte has been the heart and soul of the Schoen Adams Research Institute since its inception in 2017 as the keystone of Spaulding’s comprehensive Campaign. From his own professional niche in brain injury to other critical strategic areas such as spinal cord injury, chronic pain, and stroke, Dr. Zafonte has had a singular ambitious goal—to unlock the biology of recovery and translate that knowledge into tangible therapeutic benefit for patients. In October 2021, Dr. Zafonte transitioned into his new role as president of the Spaulding Rehabilitation network, and our ever-supportive donor community sprung into action to recognize his achievements, raising more than $5 million for our President’s Fund in his honor. This fund provides Dr. Zafonte with a pool of flexible resources to meet the broad spectrum of Spaulding’s emergent needs, which is vitally important in this time of change and opportunity in health care.

One of the things that makes Spaulding so unique is the diversity and broadness of our approach. We have an incredibly passionate community of people who go from the laboratory to the bedside, from molecular and structural research to what happens in people’s homes. And they do this with a sense of obligation—that we need to discover, we need to innovate, we need to educate, but we also need to deliver. The Campaign has been transformational because it’s helped us in our quest to deliver, to continually do better for our patients.”

Many Hopeful Returns: Deborah Babson Deborah Babson has been a repeat customer at Spaulding for more than three decades.

Rehabilitation following spinal surgery was her first introduction to the hospital, but the personalized, empathetic care she has received over the years has kept her coming back. “Not to be cliché, Spaulding has given me my life back four times,” she says. “It has been my source of hope, my source of support. Any surgery I have, Spaulding’s my first stop, last stop, and only stop.” Multiple operations have inspired Deborah’s interest in chronic pain management, which she says her Spaulding therapists always approach with innovation and open-mindedness. She was pleased to see that philosophy translate to its Discovery Center for Recovery from Chronic Pain, which is why she made her Campaign gift to support this area. “I’m very passionate about finding new ways to alleviate pain, and research could be life-altering,” Deborah says. “One of the things that impressed me enormously was the fact that Spaulding shares its research, potentially saving hundreds of thousands of people like me from a life of loss and hopelessness.”

Donating to Spaulding’s recent Campaign and research priorities was a simple and obvious decision for us. After a terrible snowmobile accident, orthopedists were able to put me back together, but it was Spaulding who was there to support me for the long haul. Without their amazing care and guidance, I would not have had the direction, motivation, and resources to get back to being myself. It has been a pleasure to be able to reciprocate this gift!”

—Rachel Karger, who with her husband, Louis, made a major gift to support Spaulding’s chronic pain and Supportive Surroundings initiatives

Center for Recovery from Chronic Pain In the Open: Leon Morales-Quezada, MD, PhD, MPH The key to Dr. Leon Morales-Quezada’s innovative pain research is bringing everything out in the open. He is examining how placebos—clinical interventions having no inherent therapeutic value—might control pain and lower opioid use, even when people know they are receiving a “fake” treatment. Early results from his open-label placebo studies were nothing short of amazing, showing about a 60 percent reduction in narcotics use among patients on a combined opioid/placebo treatment plan with an equivalent amount of pain control as those on opioids alone.

Leveraging these initial findings, Dr. Morales-Quezada successfully applied for a larger NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse) grant and is now creating a “moving laboratory” of portable neuro-imaging equipment on Spaulding’s inpatient floors to assess the physiologic impact of placebos on the brain. By opening doors between the controlled lab and “real-world” clinic, he hopes to get a clearer picture of the role environmental factors play in the placebo effect and which patients might benefit most.

I am so grateful for the incredible generosity of this donor community, which enabled me to bring my lab to Spaulding. It has been a transformative experience for my whole lab. Spaulding is a unique and exciting place to do research, where my team can freely explore and validate new, and sometimes unconventional, approaches to pain management.

We feel lucky to be here.”

Mind Medicine: Betty Durkin

Betty Durkin knows what it’s like to be in extreme pain. In 2021, at age 72, Betty tripped on a loose board on her deck and fell, striking her head, breaking her neck, and leaving the rest of her body bruised and battered.

Her age and the nature of her injuries ruled out surgery, which

had her facing a slow, painful recovery in the weeks ahead.

Mindful of a friend’s suboptimal rehabilitation experience following an accident, Betty was relieved to be transferred to Spaulding, about which she had heard “nothing but good things.”

There, she began the hard work

10 Schoen Adams Research Institute at Spaulding Rehabilitation

of getting better—a process that was new and unfamiliar. “It just felt so long to me because I’d never been down with anything like this before,” Betty recalls.

“I’ve had three children and two knee replacements, but with all of those I was still up and going right away. This was like I was down, really down.”

And then there was the pain.

Not surprisingly, given the extent of her injuries, Betty was in a lot of discomfort, first from the bodily damage itself and

Counterintuitively, she, like many of the other participants, felt just as much pain relief from the “fake” treatment as the real one.

In fact, although she was given the option, Betty never had to ask for the opioids again. “In the beginning, I’m thinking there’s no way this is going to work. I’m going to know it’s nothing. I’m going to feel the difference,” she says. “But then I said I’m going to give this thing a fair shot and try not to have any bias. I still don’t fully understand how it works, but it actually seemed to trick my brain.”

then from the numerous therapy sessions to regain her function as her body started to heal.

Betty was prescribed powerful painkillers for relief, but she was very concerned about using these drugs, having seen a former colleague succumb to opioid addiction. “I kept telling my nurses that I didn’t really want to be on any of that stuff,” she says. “I saw firsthand what it could do to a person. I knew in my heart of hearts that as soon as I could get off it, I would.”

Betty jokes that her nurses must have listened because almost instantly she was asked to participate in an innovative pain management study aimed at reducing opioid dependency.

Betty didn’t hesitate to say yes.

The small clinical trial, led by Spaulding’s Dr. Leon MoralesQuezada, was designed to test if open-label placebos, therapeutically inert treatments, are effective in treating serious pain—even when participants know they a taking a placebo.

With the help of study subjects like Betty, Dr. Morales-Quezada hopes to continue his research to uncover the method behind the magic of placebos, surmising that the way in which they are delivered may play a role. But, after a “stellar experience at Spaulding,” Betty is just glad to be fully recovered without having exposed herself to any unnecessary risk of addiction. Contemplating her next step after leaving her job as a security administrator, she is now spending quality time with her grandchildren pain- and drug-free—and, for her, that’s worth every mind trick in the book.

Paula Ness Speers and Mark S. Speers Spinal Cord Injury Recovery

Goal Oriented: Travis Roy Foundation Growing up in Yarmouth, Maine, Travis Roy set a bar of “how good can I be,” pursuing his passion for ice hockey. After an accident left him paralyzed from the neck down at age 20, he pivoted his focus to helping other spinal cord injury survivors live more independent lives through the Travis Roy Foundation (TRF).

“Travis’ daily life experience gave him unique perspectives on how best to support others facing similar challenges,” says TRF co-founder Arthur B. Page. “His leadership and impact reflected his outward focus and competitive drive.” In 2022, after Travis’ death, the TRF made a generous capstone gift to Spaulding to establish The Travis Roy Center for Enhanced Independence.

This special initiative offers hands-on training in and access to the latest assistive technologies—all aimed at the preservation of the dignity and functional autonomy that Travis championed.

“This Center is a culmination of our past collaborations, reinforcing our joint commitment to empowering people with spinal cord injuries,” says Art, noting that other friends in the hockey community have raised supplemental funds for this meaningful effort. “We are all immensely grateful for the opportunity to honor Travis’ legacy at Spaulding.”

Rehabilitation is a significantly underfunded and underappreciated, yet incredibly crucial, aspect of healthcare. The acute phase of care may last two days or even two months, but rehab—and the impact of that rehab—is going to last the rest of a patient’s life. We couldn’t imagine an area with greater need and greater opportunity for our philanthropic giving to have meaningful impact. That really mattered to us.”

Walking on Thin Air: Randy Trumbower, PhD Dr. Randy Trumbower is helping patients with spinal cord injury breathe a little easier by making them breathe a little harder. At his world-renowned INSPIRE Lab, he is leading several studies testing how treatment with acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH)—brief episodes of low-dose oxygen—might enhance walking recovery and performance in people with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). Funded by both government and private support, Dr. Trumbower’s team has found this counterintuitive therapy effective in boosting the benefits of gait training, resulting in earlier and persistent improvement in walking speed and endurance. More recently, they have explored the potential of pairing AIH with non-invasive nerve stimulation and even caffeine to augment its positive effects on nerve activity in the spinal cord. The lab’s innovative approach to SCI recovery might just take your breath away.

Philanthropy is vital in rehabilitation research because it doesn’t fit into a neat box like other areas of medical science.

In our specialty, where we don’t just look at one biological system but how our many systems interact, applying for grants is complex. With donor support, we can make those initial discoveries that will help position us for future funding.”

An Unfinished Story: Jonathan Lucien

Jonathan Lucien was just getting his life back on track.

By age 24, he had made some mistakes, brushes with the law that landed him in prison, but he was back at home, working and continuing his education at Salem State University. And then came the car accident that broke his neck. Resuscitated and rushed to Brigham and

Women’s Hospital, Jonathan had emergency surgery to insert 11 screws to support his broken vertebrae, and his mother was told that, if he survived, he would never walk again. But when he was transferred to Spaulding for inpatient rehabilitation, Jonathan got a glimmer of hope in some movement in his

14 Schoen Adams Research Institute at Spaulding Rehabilitation

legs, and he and his therapists started to build on that potential. “Life is a book, and I wanted to read to the end,” says Jonathan. “So I fought for this. I refused to accept that it was my story.”

Writing his own story over the course of his recovery hasn’t always been easy.

Jonathan was just leaning into his inpatient therapy in Charlestown only to be released at the height of the COVID pandemic. Knowing that he was a good candidate

on his own. “All it takes is for people to believe in you and you’re willing to get there,” says Jonathan. “The strong mindset is 50 percent. The other 50 percent is my support system; the individuals like Angela, like Randy. They’re helping me every step of the way. They believe more in my own body than I do.”

for their innovative approach to spinal cord injury, the INSPIRE Lab team led by Dr. Randy Trumbower kept encouraging him to get involved with their work as an outpatient. “They didn’t just suggest, they were adamant about it,” Jonathan quips, specifically citing the persistence of his physical therapist, Angela Link (in photo above, at right). “They came to me at a very good time and a very bad time. It’s bittersweet, scary—like leaving campus and graduating. You’re happy you

went through the journey, but then it’s like: What does life have in store for me next?”

In that time of transition and potential isolation, the INSPIRE Lab became a welcome refuge of motivation and strength for Jonathan. Participating in regular training and gait studies on site in Cambridge, he found a dedicated team that was never going to give up on him. He slowly began to see consistent improvement, from taking just a few steps to where he is now confidently walking outside

Jonathan’s sarcastic teasing of Angela as she patiently puts him through his paces speaks volumes about the trust and ease of their relationship. But out of her earshot, he can’t seem to express his gratitude enough for Angela’s help with everything from managing insurance forms to assistance with equipment. “I’m here walking because of her,” he says. “She’s tireless. If she could get a raise, a promotion, a free trip to Aruba, I would give it to her.” But perhaps the best gift Jonathan has offered the team is just how far he’s come, both physically and emotionally.

It’s clear he wants to make them proud. “Every time I see them, I want to tell them I accomplished something new,” he says. “I don’t want to come back and be the same. I want to be better. I don’t want all their hard work to be in vain.”

Discovery Center for Traumatic Brain

If I had to describe Spaulding in one word, it would be extraordinary, with excellence in patient care and excellence in research consistently over both dimensions. That’s incredibly hard to achieve but exactly where Spaulding sits. And when you get to know the team—the talented, committed, capable team— that drives that excellence on both sides of the equation, you can’t help but become more invested in all they do.”

A Worthwhile Investment: Scott Sandell A venture capitalist for almost 30 years, Scott Sandell knows a good investment when he sees one—and his Campaign gift to support Spaulding’s brain injury team was no exception. “With my personal philanthropy, just like in my professional life, I try to find innovators and leaders who are committed to positive change,” says Scott. “And Spaulding is an extraordinary institution that attracts extraordinary people, all of whom are trying to help others in unfortunate situations.”

Scott’s introduction to Spaulding came at one of the hardest times of his life, after his eldest daughter Anna suffered a severe traumatic brain injury from an accident in January 2021.

Recognizing the glaring gap in brain injury research in the post-acute space, Scott jumped at the opportunity to partner with Spaulding clinician–researchers who combine a zeal for progress with an ever-present focus on their individual patients, like Anna. “Rehabilitation is a very important piece of the puzzle for a lot of patients, and I think it’s deeply under-appreciated and deeply underfunded,” he says. “So if you’re in the position of trying to make an impact with your capital, you can make a big impact here.”

Injury and Concussion Recovery Making Headway: Joseph Giacino, PhD Dr. Joseph Giacino has a lot on his mind when it comes to the brain. As an expert in neurorehabilitation, he seeks to develop more precise ways to diagnose, assess, and treat patients with severe acquired brain injury and disorders of consciousness (DoC). Given the complexity of these conditions, Dr. Giacino has found that taking a multipronged approach is critical to making headway in these areas. Whether it is leading Spaulding’s federally funded and recently renewed Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Model System; conducting groundbreaking research on subjects like deep brain stimulation, brain resilience, TBI outcomes prediction, and the cognitive impact of COVID; or launching a new initiative to better understand and treat the mechanisms behind DoCs, Dr. Giacino is changing the paradigm in brain recovery. Recently, he and colleague Yelena Bodien, PhD, contributed to a first-of-its-kind international, multi-institutional study using crowdsourcing—a web-based meeting of the minds—to get a more accurate picture of the scope of coma.

Spaulding has given me the flexibility and support to explore many different areas of research in brain injury recovery from innovative behavior modification to the overlap between concussion and functional neurological disorder. I am grateful for our forward-thinking culture, which encourages us to follow wherever the course of discovery might lead.”

The Comeback Kid: Hannah Strom

Hannah Strom can’t remember her first day at Spaulding Boston, but it would mark the start of a transformational 100-day inpatient stay at the hospital— and a turning point in her remarkable comeback from a tragic accident. In January 2020, Hannah, a recruited rower at Holy Cross College, was traveling with

her head coach and 10 of her teammates to a training session in Florida when their van was struck by an oncoming truck.

A first responder described the fatal crash scene to a reporter as a “war zone.” Rushed to a local hospital, Hannah was admitted to the ICU for a traumatic brain injury, along with a collapsed lung

and broken bones.

With the prognosis seemingly grim, her shocked and concerned parents, Gail and Tom, had Hannah airlifted from Florida to Massachusetts General Hospital to be closer to their home in Marion, Mass. Hannah was still in a medically induced coma when she was admitted to Spaulding’s renowned Disorders of Consciousness Program nearly a month after the accident. Directed by Dr. Joseph Giacino, this program

allowed to leave and return. “If she wasn’t there, I wouldn’t have understood what was going on,” says Hannah of her mother’s steady presence. “I was very confused. Nothing seemed real.”

From their home away from home, Gail and Hannah would FaceTime the rest of their family, updating them constantly on the dedication of Hannah’s care team and the milestones in her ongoing recovery.

is dedicated to treating patients whose conscious functioning— including wakefulness, awareness, and responsiveness—has been impacted by damage to the brain from injury or illness. Using evidence-based techniques, Hannah’s entire rehab team began working together to assess her level of awareness and design specialized interventions to communicate, all while addressing her physical recovery needs.

From a baseline of being unable to interact or speak, Hannah

began to make steady progress, from tracking objects with her eyes to using single words. Her Spaulding physical therapist Abigail and others focused on getting her out of bed and moving, first in a wheelchair, followed by a harness, and then walking with assistance in short spurts. At Hannah’s side was her devoted mother, who—as the emerging COVID pandemic began to shut down hospitals to visitors—made the understandable decision to stay at Spaulding indefinitely, knowing that she would not be

When she was finally discharged home in June 2020, Hannah was not only awake and conscious but off her feeding tube, tentatively walking and speaking. And she had a new vision for her life.

Abigail had become Hannah’s mentor, role model, and the inspiration for a new career path— to become a physical therapist herself. “She never gave up on me,” says Hannah. “Now I want to help bring hope to others in the same situation.” Determined as ever, Hannah interned at Spaulding Boston for the past two summers as a rehab aide and has shared her personal story at professional meetings on brain injury. Today, she is back living on her own, actively running and rowing, and taking some prerequisites to apply to physical therapist assistant programs.

While her parents still worry, they are overjoyed at how far she has come through her own resilience, the support of family and friends, and the power of rehabilitation.

“Spaulding was where Hannah came alive,” says Gail. “We are forever grateful.”

Discovery Center for Musculoskeletal

Working Wonders: Linda Sallop and Atlantic Charter Insurance Company Linda Sallop, founder of Atlantic Charter Insurance Company, espouses a “non-adversarial” approach to workers’ compensation benefits, geared toward helping people find appropriate care. “We want to place injured people in the most positive environment for recovering,” she says. “And that’s why we get along so well with Spaulding, because we share the same goal of getting people back to living full lives.” Now a Spaulding trustee, Linda says that the Spaulding–Atlantic Charter relationship has blossomed over the years based on mutual respect and support. She has especially valued Spaulding’s expertise and advice in the realm of musculoskeletal injuries, which ultimately led to the company’s Campaign gift to name the directorship for the Discovery Center for Musculoskeletal Recovery. “It was the most exciting thing we’d ever done in terms of any kind of philanthropy,” says Linda. “These injuries are some of the most challenging we face, and the field needs creativity and innovation. We just knew Spaulding was the right place for us to give because we’re looking for the same thing—healing.”

Transformational Teamwork: Joanne Borg-Stein, MD, and Adam Tenforde, MD What happens when you bring together a veteran physiatrist in the field of orthobiologics and a physician specialist in non-surgical sports medicine techniques?

The answer is game-changing progress in treating musculoskeletal injuries. For almost 25 years, Dr. Joanne Borg-Stein has been exploring the use of injectable biological substances—such as platelets, bone marrow, or fat cells—to treat chronic conditions like joint and tendon disorders and osteoarthritis.

A former professional runner, Dr. Adam Tenforde has focused his research on optimizing athletes’ recovery from injury using non-invasive methods like shockwave therapy, which physically stimulates soft tissue. While each has demonstrated the efficacy of their respective treatments in promoting healing and reducing pain, these doctors are now teaming up to see how orthobiologics and shockwave might be applied in concert to personalize care and improve patient outcomes even more.

Spaulding has built a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment where clinical care, wellness programming, disability advocacy, and research all intersect to improve our patients’ health and quality of life. I see this synergy every day in our adaptive sports programs, but it’s very much a part of Spaulding’s approach to rehabilitation overall.”

Regenerating Rehabilitation:

“And we want to be breakthrough hunters, too. We want to figure out how to promote that change of perspective so we can identify new ways to approach a problem and hasten progress.”

Dr. Fabrisia Ambrosio recognizes the value of looking at things from a different point of view. With a background that spans physiology, endocrinology, biomechanics, and physics, the Brazilian-born researcher espouses an openminded philosophy that embraces diverse disciplines to encourage original thought and creativity.

behind arthritis-related joint deterioration, skeletal muscle regeneration, exercise-induced neuroprotection, and more.

Ultimately, their aim is to find new targets for developing therapies to not just fix what’s broken or live longer, but actually age better. “Why is it that we so often view aging as a negative thing?” ponders Dr. Ambrosio. “Arguably, it’s because aging is associated with negative effects on health and a decreased ability to do the things we love. If we can preserve health and wellness into old age, then it can be the best time of life.

That’s our goal.”

mechanisms to induce healing.

Dr. Ambrosio’s team has taken this field one step further by advancing the pioneering technologies at its core—like stem cell therapies and tissue engineering—and combining them with the physical- and exercise-based approaches of rehabilitation.

The National Institutes of Health has hailed the resulting “regenerative rehabilitation” as a key strategic area for future inquiry. “It’s now become a part of the vernacular, an established part of our field,” Dr. Ambrosio says. “Our momentum propelling scientific advances in regenerative

rehabilitation has been exciting and is something that makes me very proud.”

Bringing this expertise and excitement to Spaulding—already a hub of original thinking in MSK injury treatment and research—was a logical move for Dr. Ambrosio.

Even as her team settled into their new laboratory space adjacent to the Charlestown campus, they released a paper in Nature Communications that continued to build on their insights around Klotho, a key protein associated with longevity. Their ongoing work has already enhanced the understanding of the mechanisms

In keeping with her Renaissance mentality, Dr. Ambrosio has looked far afield in pursuing her research goals, incorporating tools like three-dimensional mathematical modeling, magnetic field exposure, and quantum physics to shed light on underlying biological processes. She also intends to continue some of the avant-garde programs in her lab, including a series to study and present on innovative thinkers, sessions to foster an appreciation of the arts, and classes to encourage nuance in communicating science. Dr. Ambrosio is mindful that more traditional funding mechanisms tend to shy away from out-of-thebox ideas and is grateful to those who have had the prescience to support an unorthodox approach. “What’s exciting about philanthropy is it allows us to be bold,” she says. “It allows us to think broadly, take chances and be risky, to follow those innovators who came before us. It’s because of donations that we can let our creativity run wild.”

Discovery Center for Stroke Recovery

Attitude and Gratitude: Julie Riven Jaye and Barry Jaye As her husband Barry recovered from a brain stem stroke at Spaulding, Julie Riven Jaye found inspiration in the words of a volunteer—a former stroke patient himself—who reassured them at the bedside. “He said, I want you to remember two things: attitude and gratitude,” she recalls. “I still think about those words and try to live by them every day.” When it comes to attitude, the Jayes have been buoyed by the positivity and personalization that has infused every facet of their Spaulding experience, from Barry’s four-week inpatient stay through all the years of ongoing outpatient care that have followed. And expressing their gratitude with a Campaign gift to the Discovery Center for Stroke Recovery just made sense. “Life can change in a heartbeat, but I feel that Spaulding is always there for us,” says Julie. “We want other people to feel the same way and if there’s anything we can do to help Spaulding move forward, we want to do what we can.”

Research is fundamental to what Spaulding is trying to accomplish. It advances the therapies and technologies that are at the heart of improving people’s health and well-being. I am proud to be a part of this vibrant and innovative community that is so deeply committed to giving people their lives back.”

—Judith A. Fong, Spaulding Trustee, who has generously supported the Discovery Center for Stroke Recovery and the Research Accelerator

All Tech-ed Out: Paolo Bonato, PhD Dr. Paolo Bonato has dedicated his career to ushering rehabilitation into the digital age. He leads Spaulding’s Motion Analysis Laboratory, a world-renowned hub for examining how computer technologies and robotics can enhance recovery from a range of conditions including stroke. For one, he and his team are studying how specialized wearable tech, like rings and watches, can track motor function in stroke patients, who often revert to favoring the unaffected side of their bodies outside the clinic. Rehabilitation specialists can remotely monitor patients’ limb activity via these cyber-accessories and tailor their treatment plans accordingly. The lab is also looking at a revolutionary robotic ankle-foot orthotic that enables continuous refinement based on individual progress and can collect biomechanical data for research. Their pioneering work gives fashion sense new meaning.

With donor support, my team is looking at how innovative brain stimulation techniques might be used to benefit as many patients as possible, from those recovering from stroke to those suffering from chronic pain. What we learn about these methods for one condition can inform how we apply them to others and broaden our impact overall. These methods are also fundamentally different from pharmacological treatments, providing a new therapeutic window to future patients.”

There and Back Again: Clifton Singletary

Clifton Singletary’s first visit to Spaulding’s flagship hospital in Charlestown was in July 2013 to see the Boston Pops perform for the many survivors of the Boston Marathon Bombings who were still recovering from their injuries as inpatients. Clifton, a decorated Boston police officer,

had been a member of the emergency response team for the bombings, helping load the wounded into ambulances in the aftermath. Invited to Spaulding in recognition of his service, he marveled at the design of the newly opened building, the dedication of the caregivers, and

26 Schoen Adams Research Institute at Spaulding Rehabilitation

the strength of the survivors.

“But I never thought in a million years I’d be back as a patient,” he says.

Almost 10 years later, Clifton would return to Spaulding Boston for rehabilitation following a hemorrhagic stroke. His experience from the patient side would only reinforce his admiration for the hospital’s state-of-the-art facilities and accomplished clinicians, but now it was his turn to find the strength he never knew he

in stroke—a fact that really hit home when a new patient joined his group therapy session. “We’re all there in wheelchairs, and he just walks right into the room,” Clifton recalls. “But then he couldn’t talk. That was his stroke. And that’s the thing about this hospital is that everyone you encounter, they’re teaching you different coping mechanisms, different ways to manage your condition, because nobody’s the same.”

had. Unable to walk on his own and struggling with some poststroke coordination, sensory, and cognitive symptoms, he found himself surrounded by a team that was determined to get him back on his feet. “I want to use the word professionalism, but this is beyond professionalism,” he says. “There’s a level of dedication the people have here that is beyond comprehension. I loved being a police officer. These people love doing this. That’s the love that you feel here.”

Sometimes it would be tough love and the progress frustratingly slow for the active father of four, but Clifton says he learned the importance of “trusting the process.” Indeed, learning was a fundamental component of his rehabilitation. He describes the patience and empathy with which his Spaulding caregivers would walk him through how certain technologies and therapies worked. They also helped him to internalize how everyone’s course of recovery is unique, particularly

Spaulding’s personalized approach to care has not only got Clifton back walking again but has inspired him to return to the hospital to help others, something his recent retirement has given him the time and flexibility to do. “This place is the reason I’m where I am right now—no if, ands, or buts about it,” he says.

“I just wanted to give back.

They deserve it.” Clifton has volunteered to be a patient advocate to provide emotional support and guidance to new patients early in their recovery.

He is also participating in a research study in Spaulding’s Motion Analysis Lab to determine if using a virtual reality–linked treadmill might improve gait performance post-stroke. He says showing his appreciation in this way benefits him just as much as it does other stroke patients.

“I can’t be a police officer anymore, but I can still help,” he notes—ensuring that his next visit to Spaulding won’t be his last.

Special Programs: Nurses as Leaders Striking the Right Balance: David Fischer and Carol O’Connor-Fischer For David Fischer, Spaulding represents the best of both worlds. “My work experience providing financing to tech start-ups makes me appreciate Spaulding’s focus on innovation,” he says. “But it never loses sight of the importance of patient care and quality.

It’s this skill at balancing these dual missions that makes me feel most strongly about supporting Spaulding.”

Since his own recovery from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) following a cycling accident, David has made a point of advancing the institution’s work on both sides of the equation. In addition to his service as a trustee and member of the Patient Family Advisory Council, he and his wife, Carol, also made major Campaign gifts to support TBI research and the career development of nurses and patient care assistants through the Nurses as Leaders program.

“Creating an environment of excellent clinical care requires a constant focus on discovery and thoughtful progress,” says David. “Spaulding is never satisfied with the status quo, and I have a lot of respect for that.”

30 Schoen Adams Research Institute at Spaulding Rehabilitation

As with any effective nonprofit, the people—and their commitment to and passion for the mission—is what makes Spaulding so special. We decided to support the Nurses as Leaders initiative because the nurses are the connective tissue of Spaulding. They make the research real. They motivate the patients. They do what needs to be done to deliver results that last a lifetime.”

—Ralph James, who with his wife, Janice, made a gift to the Nurses as Leaders program in honor of the late John H. McArthur, former Dean and Professor at Harvard Business School

and Supportive Surroundings A Lasting Legacy: Jamie Bemis and Family While the late Jamie Bemis supported many facets of Spaulding following her recovery from a stroke, her involvement with the Supportive Surroundings program turned vision into reality. “My mom felt a strong responsibility to ensure that rehabilitation was accessible to people of all populations regardless of demographic or socioeconomic status,” says Jamie’s daughter, Charlotte Boylan. “She saw Supportive Surroundings as a way for people less fortunate than herself to access all that Spaulding has to offer.” Before her untimely death in 2020, Jamie was able to see her major Campaign gift transform a modest array of services into a full-fledged initiative to provide patients and families nearby accessible housing along with assistance with transportation, equipment, and other specialized needs. “For her, the best legacy would be seeing other people recover, whether or not she got credit for it, whether or not she was part of it directly,” says Charlotte. “I think knowing that she had any small role in helping others get back to their lives was what she wanted.”

Rehabilitation can be stressful in and of itself. I was concerned that loss of income and other financial limitations might hamper or even prevent some families from obtaining the special care that only Spaulding can provide. With my giving to this unique program, I feel that I may have, in some small way, improved the lives of patients and their caregivers by making their stay at Spaulding and their transition home a little less burdensome.”

—Donna Zerwitz, Chair of Spaulding’s Francis “Hooks” Burr Society, who has made both current-use and planned gifts to Supportive Surroundings

Campaign during COVID The COVID-19 pandemic, which took place during the course of our Campaign, had a transformational impact on the global healthcare community. Spaulding was no exception. Our clinicians, researchers, and staff came together with strength and perseverance to ensure the health, well-being, and safety of our patients and families as well as their colleagues. To support the urgent needs of our entire team at a time of great personal risk and stress, we established the Emergency Response Fund (ERF), which our donor community was quick to champion with gifts totaling over $1.5 million. Gifts to the Fund were put to work immediately, providing a variety of morale-boosting and financial-relief extras to those who needed it most. We are so grateful for the generosity of all our donors to the ERF, in particular The Manton Foundation who—above and beyond their ongoing support of our Boost Program for Limb Loss—backed two successful challenge grants for this fund at the height of the pandemic.
