‘Something that unites and empowers us all is the opportunity to give back and uplift the physiatrists of the future to overcome barriers and succeed! One of my favorite quotes is ‘We rise by lifting others.’ In that spirit, I’d like to take a moment to invite you all to make a donation (small or large) to help us get started today. I can’t wait to see all the good we will accomplish together.”
