Maintenance program for individuals with chronic pulmonary conditions looking to maintain their functional abilities.

Please help us recognize a Nurse or PCT who has provided exceptional care by submitting the short form below. The DAISY Award is an international recognition program that honors the compassionate care from our nursing team. The BEE Award is a recognition program to celebrate the patient care from our Patient Care Technicians.

Just as the Daisy cannot survive without the Bee, the nurses cannot survive without the outstanding teamwork provided by our colleagues. The BEE award honors PCTs, NRAs, and UAs who make a difference through extraordinary patient care.

We address chronic pain through our dedicated Pain Management Center as well as cases of acute or short-term pain in our outpatient and DayRehab pain programs.

Each year, Shirley Ryan AbilityLab prepares an annual Impact Report to celebrate the accomplishments of our community-based Quality of Life Programs, research initiatives and medical education programs — all of which is made possible through the support of our generous donors.

LIFE Center Manager Lisa Rosen co-founded the peer mentoring program in 2003. There had always been some informal mentoring going on as patients talked with other patients or hospital volunteers with disabilities, but Rosen realized there was a need for a more structured program.

Whether people are born with a disability or develop one due to an illness, injury or chronic condition, regular physical activity can help improve quality of life and reduce the risk for other health issues or complications.
