JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute is nationally-ranked as a Top Rehabilitation Hospital in the country by U.S. News & World Report.
“We are so pleased to host the 15th Annual Miles for Minds 5K for what I know will be another successful year in support of compassionate care at JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute,” said Sheri Marino, executive director, JFK University Medical Center Foundation. “Every year, our closest network of supporters, including patients who have recovered from serious brain injury and stroke, come together to get active and enjoy the day while raising important funds that will allow us to advance care. We look forward to seeing everyone!”
