We were honored to join AZ Family News to highlight our partnership with the Arizona Cardinals Foundation as a cornerstone beneficiary. This collaboration underscores how philanthropic support is a crucial component to bridge the gap in neurologic healthcare for young people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) as they transition into adult-care programs.
The Arizona Cardinals Foundation`s support is critical in making our vision a reality:
"Our vision is to develop a comprehensive neurological healthcare program that will improve the lifespan and health span of our patients living with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as create a model that can be replicated nationally and internationally, thus improving the care of people worldwide." — Brad A. Racette, MD, FAAN, Senior Vice President of Neurology at Barrow Neurological Institute.
We couldn`t be more grateful to partner with the Arizona Cardinals Foundation on this impactful initiative. Read more at the link in our bio.
