Over the years, NRH’s GalaVictory Awards® has recognized famous faces like Kirk Douglas, RayCharles, Gloria Estefan, HeatherMills McCartney, Sammy Davis,Jr., and Bob Dole, along side everyday men and women. They all share one thing in common – avictory of the human spirit. Theyare individuals who serve as shiningexamples of the abilities of personswith disabilities.

Before leaving the stage, StevieWonder asked, “If blessed with thegift of sight, what would I mostwant to see?” His answer spoke of acommon hope we all share, “I wantto see us commit ourselves to a land

where fear cannot put dreams tosleep.” He also had a personal message for everyone in the audience who had gathered to improve health care for personswith disabilities, “thank you for unselfishly taking what you heardin your heart and moving it to aplace of contribution.”

expand access to specialized care.The evening’s keynote speaker,

Dean Kamen, the visionary inventorof the portable dialysis machine, theiBOT™ 3000 Mobility System andthe Segway™ Human Transporter,challenged researchers to continuetheir pioneering work. “Remember,”he said, “the easy stuff – the wheel –has already been invented.”Researchers today are wrestling withthe toughest questions and cannotallow themselves to be discouragedif the answers are hard to come by.“Innovation means becoming comfortable with failure,” Kamentold the crowd. “But with the rightvision and the right technology, wecan move forward,” he added.

One family who has made a significant investment in the futureof research is the late Otto Rueschand his wife Jeanne. Through theirgenerosity, plans for the ChristophRuesch Research Center were expanded to include a facility thatwould bring all of NRH Researchunder one roof and closer to thepeople they serve – our patients. For their vision and leadership, theCenter is named in honor of theirson, Christoph. The GEICOPhilanthropic Foundation, theAaron and Lillie Straus Foundationand dozens of other contributorsprovided additional support.

dedication of the ChristophRuesch Research Center. Tenmonths in construction and morethan two years in planning, the$2.2 million center brings togethermore than 30 research scientistsand other staff.

The Center was fundedthrough a combination of Federalgrants and private contributions.Explaining why NRH has been sosuccessful in attracting funding,Congressman John Murtha fromPennsylvania said, “We trust youbecause you deliver results.” Asampling of those results was ondisplay during the technologydemonstration fair.

President’s Message

Edward A. Eckenhoff,President and Chief Executive Officer

n late January, during the opening ceremony for the newChristoph Ruesch ResearchCenter at the NationalRehabilitation Hospital, I wasdeeply moved and overcome

with gratitude for the many giftsthe Hospital has received. In 2005, we are blessed by havingthe greatest gift of all – a team ofdedicated professionals who eachday provide the very best in medical care, therapy, and otherservices. We are also indebted toour Board of Directors, Board ofAssociates, and corps of volunteers.These individuals give hundreds of hours annually to guide us,brighten patients’ holidays, and assist with administrative tasks

and special events like the NRHGolf Classic and Gala VictoryAwards®. Today, my thoughts alsoturn to all of the individuals, corporations, and foundationswhose gifts and grants help NRHfulfill its mission of Adding life toyears® for children and adults withdisabilities. I am especially pleasedto report that, because of the commitment of many people andorganizations, in December 2004we successfully completed the

recognized on walls throughout the Hospital building. Recently named facilities and programs include the:

• The Aaron Straus & Lillie Straus Foundation Therapy Gym (in memory of Richard Barnett) in the National Center for Children’s Rehabilitation

• A.W. Smith and Marcia Marsh Administrative Suite

• Christoph Ruesch Research Center• Esther Cook Children’s Care

Assistance Fund (bequest)• GEICO Technology

Demonstration Corridor• John Keyser Meditation Room• John P. Murtha Assistive

Technology Research Center• Otto and Jeanne Ruesch Center

for Applied Biomechanics

Recent financial support has also helped NRH to purchase needed equipment, provide financial help to those in need through the Patient Care Assistance Fund, fund the driver training program, and conduct patient and professional education programs.

Each contribution – whether $50 or $50,000 or $500,000 – enables NRH to assist children and adults with disabilities resulting from devastating traumatic injuries, stroke, amputation, and other conditions. Indeed, with changes in reimbursement for rehabilitative care and our community’s signifi-cant need for charity care, there is no better time to support NRH.

We encourage your continued support of NRH by responding generously to our Annual Fund appeal, including NRH in your will, or contributing any amount at any time. I also invite you to meet with me or our development team to discuss other opportunities to help. Again, we thank you for your ongoing support and for Adding life to years® for the patients we serve. We are truly blessed by your generosity!

randomly assigned to receive eitherconstraint induced therapy (CITx)or neurodevelopmental treatment(NDT). Evaluations will be completed over a week and the out-patient treatment will last for threeweeks. Eligible participants must be 9 to 17 years of age and havehemiplegic (affects only one side ofthe body) type of Cerebral Palsy.

Children whose cerebral palsydeveloped after one year of age arenot eligible to take part in thesestudies. Certain other conditionsmay also make a child ineligible toparticipate (for example, metal implants in the body, pregnancy, a severe seizure disorder, sickle cell

disease, cardiac disease, another serious medical disorder or surgery to treat muscle stiffness in the arm or hand).

The study will be coordinatedthrough the National Center forCerebral Palsy and Related Disordersat the National RehabilitationHospital (NRH). There is no costfor participation or for any tests associated with the research. Patientswho are eligible for the treatmentstudy may have to pay for their therapy.

For more information, with noobligation to participate, please contact the Research Coordinator at 202.877.1071.
