Indianapolis-based nonprofit NeuroHope has received a $1 million grant from the OrthoIndy Foundation to support its programs for people recovering from neurologic injuries. NeuroHope says the funding will allow it to expand its nonprofit rehabilitation and wellness center and offer services for spinal cord injury, brain injury and stroke.

As part of the expansion, NeuroHope says it is hiring additional five employees, as well as growing its operating space, and opening an adaptive fitness center.

The grant allows NeuroHope to expand its gym from 4,000 square feet to 13,000 square feet.

“Neurologic injuries take months or years to maximize recovery, but patients are often discharged from insurance-covered care in a matter of weeks,” said Elliot Cohee, director of therapy at NeuroHope. “We are building a program in Indianapolis that provides a critical next step in care so patients can maximize recovery and improve long-term quality of life.”

The nonprofit says the funding will ultimately help provide affordable access to long-term rehabilitation programs.

“These injuries are life-changing,” said NeuroHope founder and Executive Director Chris Leeuw. “NeuroHope was created so patients have the support they need throughout their entire recovery process. By providing long-term, affordable access to therapy and fitness programs, this grant creates a continued care center unlike any in the community.”

Leeuw founded NeuroHope in 2013 after suffering a severe spinal cord injury from a swimming accident.
