Our mission is to empower people with disabilities to realize their full potential in every aspect of life, guided by the vision that one day, all people will live, work, learn and play in a community based on abilities, not disabilities.","primary_activities":"Rehabilitation Services: Courage Center Golden Valley serves both adults and children, is Courage Center's largest, full service site and the location of the inpatient Transitional Rehabilitation Program (described below). Courage Center Burnsville serves adults and children, although the majority are pediatric clients with physical disabilities, autism, and/or sensory challenges. Courage Center's innovative services include functional electrical stimulation (FES) devices, including FES bikes and Bioness technology for upper and lower extremities. Interactive Metronome's repetitive challenge and technology is adapted for both children and adults in innovative routines customized to the client for maximum effect. The Interactive Metronome Gait Mate focuses on improving a person's walking pattern. The Gait Mate augments traditional rehabilitation approaches for people of all ages with neurological and orthopedic conditions, brain injuries and sports injuries. Courage Center's Physicians' Clinic, staffed by Courage Center Physician Associates, is lead by Courage Center medical director Bonnie Warhol, M.D., an expert in physical medicine and rehabilitation. Courage Center physicians provide clients with consultation and treatment at all four Courage Center clinical sites. Expansion of physician services includes a new outpatient spasticity clinic providing comprehensive evaluations and treatment of spasticity; treatment plans are customized for each client and reflect an interdisciplinary approach. Reflecting the evolving needs of its most complex clients and the changing health care funding landscape, the physician group offers a primary care clinic - a Health Care Home model- to provide comprehensive, continuous care for clients with disabilities and complex, chronic health conditions. Clients number nearly 120 and early data shows that this group has already experienced fewer hospitalizations. Development of this program will continue into the next year. Courage Center's Chronic Pain Rehabilitation Program remains the only inpatient service of its type and enjoys a deserved reputation for effectiveness in the region. The program is a comprehensive three-week multidisciplinary program for individuals, who in spite of undergoing standard medical treatment, continue to remain disabled with chronic pain. The primary purposes of the Program are to increase function and decrease use of the medical system. In recent outcome statistics for the program, clients reported significantly increased function in home activities; of those who entered the program on opioids, 82 percent decreased or discontinued these medications. At Courage Center Burnsville, an innovative program of intensive therapy for children with neurological disorders is in its second year. The program, requiring a multi-week intensive, focuses on the physiology of exercise and is especially helpful for clients with cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury or developmental delay. Intensive Therapy uses the TheraSuit Method® and focuses on strengthening and core stability. The Community Reintegration Program is a medically prescribed outpatient service assisting adults with mild to moderate brain injury to learn the necessary skills for independence, safety and employment. Mental health and behavior services offer clients and families counseling, behavior management skills training, psychiatric services, and neuropsychological assessment. Courage Center Golden Valley is a site for the Dana and Christopher Reeve Foundation's intensive therapy system for those with spinal cord injuries. The program includes participation in a national, longitudinal study at multiple sites tracking the progress of participating clients as they gain greater strength and mobility through intensive fitness activities. For some, the program holds the possibility of increased mobility based on the phenomenon of neuroplasticity, with healthy cells and nerves expanding and compensating for damaged cells. In its first year, the program at Courage Center, called ABLE, served 25 clients active in the program. Courage Center St. Croix, in Stillwater, is a state of the art adult and pediatric rehabilitation center. Stillwater-area clients, from both Minnesota and Wisconsin, receive physical, occupational and/or speech therapy; warm water pool therapy; and can participate in an accessible fitness and wellness center. A multi-year discussion with the area's school officials will result in a new education center, sharing programming with Courage Center and allowing for improved use of Courage Center St. Croix's physical space. Courage Center Forest Lake serves both adults and children. At Forest Lake, Stiwell Med4 is a new addition to Courage Center's functional electrical stimulation rehabilitation therapy tools. Courage Center Forest Lake is the first clinic in the nation to offer this technology for people with stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury and other motor control problems; the device can be used with children, teens and adults. (Clients served [medical rehab services at Golden Valley, Burnsville, Forest Lake and St. Croix combined, including TRP] 5,829; Aquatics and Fitness [all locations] 3,263.\n\nCourage Center's inpatient Transitional Rehabilitation Program (TRP) serves individuals with spinal cord injuries, brain injuries and stroke, as well as people with congenital disabilities such as spina bifida, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular conditions. The average age of Courage Center's TRP participants was 48, and ranged from 18 to 84. We had 167 clients in the program in 2010, of which 154 were discharged to the community; length of stay averaged just short of three months. Program staff works with participants in creating an individualized, goal-focused rehabilitation program. Clients have access to all Courage Center programs and services based on their individual needs and interests. Through active participation in therapies and activities of daily living, individuals are challenged to demonstrate personal responsibility and gain greater independence. Client satisfaction with TRP services reflects over 87% satisfaction with \"discharge planning and nursing staff,\" and 93% satisfaction with \"expertise of therapist.\" Clients reported 93% satisfaction with \"feeling safe and respected,\" and 97% of clients felt satisfied with their experience overall. In addition, 93% would recommend the Transitional Rehabilitation program to others.\n\nVocational Rehabilitation/Community-based programs: Employment is a serious issue for persons with disabilities. In 2010, 11.6% of working age adults had a disability. At that time, the employment rate of working-age persons with disabilities was 17.7%. In comparison, at the same time, the employment rate of working age people without disabilities was 63%. And, with the downturn in the economy, employment for individuals with disabilities has become even more challenging. Vocational Services assists people develop career plans based on their unique abilities, interests and limitations. The staff identifies assistive technologies needed to help clients succeed in work or school. Our vocational experts assist in developing an individual vocational plan and identifying any assistive technologies needed for success in school or the workplace. We provide training to develop office- and job-related skills, and to help build self-esteem. We also offer employment services to help with finding and keeping a job. Programming includes vocational evaluation; work readiness; assistive technology assessment; office skills assessment and training; job placement; and job retention. Because of the downturn in the economy, only 21 clients were placed in 2010; an additional 50 clients were served in supported employment, receiving coaching and other employment retention services. Independence includes having responsibility and control of the choices made in life. Courage Center's Independent Living Skills (ILS) program strengthens clients' skills in managing their own affairs, including day to day life in the community, on the job and with family and friends. Clients experience a range of disabilities, including cognitive limitations and mental illness. An Independent Living Skills specialist meets clients in their homes or other locations to provide education, training and support until all goals are met. These specialists are knowledgeable about a variety of community resources and are experts at teaching clients how to advocate for themselves. Services available through ILS include health management, household management and organization, meal planning, grocery shopping and cooking, memory compensation strategies, problem solving assistance, safety and self defense, time management, transportation resources, and funding. Outcome data supports that for each year clients are in the Independent Living Skills Program, their participation in community activity increases, they move toward affordable, accessible, supported housing, and report improved quality of life. Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services (ARMHS) is a rehabilitative program for persons who have a mental health diagnosis along with their brain injury or other physical disability and could benefit from services to regain skills related to independent living, involvement in the community or managing their mental health. ARMHS services also can be very helpful in keeping skills that have been regained. An ARMHS specialist meets clients in their homes and/or other locations to provide skills training and support until all goals are met. The time spent with the specialist varies from client to client, and typically decreases as personal goals are achieved. Drivers Assessment and Training provides assessments for clients with disabilities or concerns related to aging or illness. Assessments include vision, reaction time, memory, problem solving, body strength and coordination, and cognitive skills. Drivers training offers personalized behind-the-wheel instruction; adapted vehicles are available for instruction. (Vocational Services: 424. ILS, ARMHS, Drivers combined: 1,531)\n\nFor more than 55 years, Courage Center Camps have provided camping programs for people of all ages and all physical abilities. Courage Center Camps are accredited by the American Camp Association and have met or exceeded camping industry standards for excellence in programs, staff and facilities for more than 35 years. The Courage Center Camps experience facilitates the development of personal strengths, such as self esteem, honesty, responsibility and feeling in control of one's life. Campers also have opportunities for social interactions, including friendship, positive peer and adult role models, and learning to resolve conflicts peacefully and feel valued by others. At Courage Center Camps, 88 percent of campers reported they had built skills in the areas of friendship, 82 percent in independence and 88 percent in competence. Camp Courage lies on 305 acres of beautiful lakeshore, woods and fields near Maple Lake, Minnesota (about 50 miles west of the Twin Cities). Camp Courage North is set amid 105 acres of towering pines on Lake George, near Itasca State Park in northern Minnesota. We also provide camps in partnership with organizations such as the American Lung Association and the MS Society. Our amateur ham radio camp and ongoing program, run by the Handi Hams program, is nationally recognized (participants: 1,017). Courage Center Camps and its campers garner substantial positive media attention throughout the year both in the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota. Courage Center Camps underwent sizeable change this past year as costs continued to rise and donations plateaued during the recession. The majority of camp sessions were offered at Camp Courage, with Courage North offered to groups and families on a rental basis. Campers numbered 538, a 15 percent reduction from the prior year. Camping organizations everywhere are experiencing financial challenges.\n\nEducation/Other: Courage Center's redesigned website was launched in 2008 and in its first year doubled in daily visitor sessions to an average of 1,583 daily in September 2009. Annual visitor sessions totaled 444,147. Social media arrived at Courage Center in 2009. Courage Center's public website, blogs, e-newsletters, Facebook fan pages, YouTube videos and \"tweets\" via Twitter are now integrated into the way we tell our story, and showcase our programs, services and events. One example of the new social media methods is \"Give to the Max Day.\" A new fundraising website, GiveMN.org, launched on Nov. 17, 2009 and devoted the day to nonprofit fundraising, with a percentage of all money raised being eligible for matching funds and no processing fees. Courage Center's online campaign that day resulted in 271 donors giving nearly $72,000 in 24 hours. GiveMN.org and Courage Center's website - ww.CourageCenter.org - gives donors an easy, 24-hour, seven-day-a-week option for giving.\n\nAthletic and Sports Programs, General/Other: Courage Center Courage Center is a nationally recognized center for adapted sports and recreation with programs in the Twin Cities and Duluth. Many of our wheelchair sports teams are national champs (power soccer, wheelchair basketball) and many of our athletes and coaches are nationally and internationally recognized. Sports activities are available for just about everyone regardless of age or ability, including skiing, golfing, biking, archery, kayaking or horseback riding, as well as competitive team sports such as basketball, softball and power soccer. Courage Center's Sports and Recreation Program provides recreational opportunities to 470 clients in 2010. The program prides itself on providing sports and recreational opportunities to persons of any age and ability. During this reporting period, the age of participants ranged from 6 to 97 years old. Almost 50 percent of these participants were 11 to 20 years old. Ninety-six percent of participants reported that they had fun and reached their goals. Eighty-three percent of participants reported feeling better about themselves as a result of participation. Over 77% of those responding to satisfaction surveys included feeling better emotionally, having improved self-image and increased confidence as other areas impacted by participation in sports and recreation.\n\nCourage Center has a robust fundraising effort to engage the community in supporting our mission. We employ a number of fundraising methods including individual, corporate and foundation solicitation as well as direct mail. We also employ fundraising methods such as Cars for Courage, Clothing for Courage and special events which are higher cost methods of raising money. We believe these are effective ways to reach out to the broadest community to educate and involve the greatest number of people in our mission.\n\nCourage Center has three fundraising strategies where the cost to raise a dollar is 50% and higher. These strategies are vehicle donations, household goods collections, and special events (including dinner and golf events). Without these strategies, Courage Center's cost to raise a dollar would drop overall by 7 percentage points. We continue to operate these strategies because the net is over $1 million and it gives a wide cross section of the community awareness and information about Courage Center and a chance to donate to Courage Center who would otherwise not. The total fundraising expenses would drop by over $1 million if these strategies were discontinued.\n\nCourage Center is a Minnesota-based rehabilitation and resource center that advances the lives of children and adults experiencing barriers to health and independence. Courage Center's mission is to empower people with disabilities to realize their full potential in every aspect of life, guided by the vision that one day, all people will live, work, learn and play in a community based on abilities, not disabilities.

advances the lives of children and adults experiencing barriers to health and independence. Our mission is to empower people with disabilities to realize their full potential in every aspect of life, guided by the vision that one day, all people will live, work, learn and play in a community based on abilities, not disablities.","primary_activities":"Physical, occupational, and speech therapy services are available in four metro area locations - golden valley, burnsville, stillwater and forest lake - as well as numerous community-based sites. In june 2012, courage center golden valley partnered with several community organizations to offer rehabilitation therapy at heritage park senior services center in north minneapolis. The center is a fully accessible senior health and wellness center adjacent to the 102 unit heritage commons at pond's edge senior development. The center houses a health clinic, adult daycare program, fitness programs, a therapy pool as well as provides office and program space for various social services providers. Partners include minneapolis public housing authority, neighborhood healthsource inc., ymca of metropolitan minneapolis, augustana care corporation, courage center and the minneapolis highrise representative council. Physician services:courage center's physicians' clinic, staffed by courage center physician associates, is led by courage center medical director bonnie warhol, m.d., a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation. In 2012, the centers for medicare and medicaid services (cms) awarded courage center one of the first nationwide health care innovation awards. The three-year $1.8 million grant will allow courage center to further develop its patient-centered medical home model for people with disabilities and complex medical conditions. The award builds on a successful pilot program, launched in 2009, that currently serves more than 220 people in the greater twin cities. Courage center's care model is more than a place; it's a philosophy of care. Where most health care homes seek to add social services and supports to an existing primary care clinic, courage center has added disability-competent primary care to a robust package of existing supports including mental health, rehabilitation therapies, health and wellness services, and other community-based services. This type of medical home is the only one of its kind in minnesota. Participants in the pilot program have an average of eight chronic health conditions and, prior to enrollment in the medical home, spent nearly 11 days a year in the hospital. After joining courage center's medical home participants reduced their time spent in the hospital by 70 percent, a reduction amounting to yearly savings of over $3.43 million for the 220 current members. Courage center hopes to serve as a model of care for people with disabilities and complex medical needs across the nation. Also, in 2012, courage center was designated as a medical spine center by healthpartners. Courage center st. Croix: located in stillwater, ccsc is a state-of-the-art adult and pediatric rehabilitation center. Stillwater-area clients, from both minnesota and wisconsin, receive physical, occupational and/or speech therapy; warm water pool therapy; and can participate in an accessible fitness and wellness center. In september 2012, courage center st. Croix moved therapy services for clients age birth to 8 years old to the new early childhood family center (ecfc), just north of stillwater junior high. In addition to courage center therapy services, the new center houses stillwater early childhood special education, early childhood family education, northeast metro district 916 and a variety of other educational programming. The new location allows courage center st. Croix to enhance and grow at both locations to better serve clients and families. It also facilitates better integration of medical services provided by courage center and educational services provided by the school district. Communication between staff members enables seamless collaboration and continuity of care, improving services for each individual client. The center is more convenient for clients and families by reducing travel time and scheduling issues. As part of the new facility, clients will have access to a large shared gym and playground areas. Health, wellness and recreation: courage center golden valley is a site for the dana and christopher reeve foundation's neurorecovery network's (nrn) intensive fitness program. Courage center's activity based locomotor exercise (able) program for people with paralysis includes participation in a national, longitudinal study at multiple sites tracking the progress of participating clients as they gain greater strength and mobility through intensive fitness activities. For some, the program holds the possibility of increased mobility based on the phenomenon of neuroplasticity, with healthy cells and nerves expanding and compensating for damaged cells. Philanthropic support for the able program was provided by deli express with $50,000 given for scholarships for people to participate in the program. Courage center's chronic pain rehabilitation program remains the only inpatient program of its type and enjoys a deserved reputation for effectiveness in the region. The comprehensive three-week multidisciplinary program is for people who in spite of undergoing standard medical treatment, continue to remain disabled with chronic pain. The primary purposes of the program are to increase function and decrease use of the medical system. The community reintegration program is a medically prescribed outpatient service assisting adults with mild to moderate brain injury to learn the necessary skills for independence, safety and employment. Mental health and behavior services offer clients and families counseling, behavior management skills training, psychiatric services, and neuropsychological assessment.\n\nInpatient rehabilitation services: courage center's transitional rehabilitation program(trp), licensed as a skilled nursing facility (snf), provides comprehensive inpatient rehabilitative services to assist people with disabilities and/or people recovering from illness, injury or surgery in gaining greater independence. The trp serves as a \"bridge\" - a transitional setting between acute care and a client returning to a home or community living setting. The trp serves clients with spinal cord injuries, brain injuries and stroke, as well as people with congenital disabilities. Trp is a personalized, holistic inpatient rehabilitation program. We use our facility as a temporary residence for those who need significant rehabilitation. It provides a welcoming, healing environment that uses the latest technology, adaptive equipment and complementary medicine to help clients reach a level where they are able to move on to community living. The average age of courage center's trp residents is approximately 51. We had 183 clients in the program in 2013.\n\nCommunity based services - vocational services: employment is a serious issue for people with disabilities. In 2011, 11.6% of working age adults had a disability. At that time, the employment rate of working-age people with disabilities was 33%. In comparison, the employment rate of working age people without disabilities was 76%. Vocational services assists people in developing career plans based on their unique abilities, interests and limitations. Our vocational experts assist in developing an individual vocational plan and identifying any assistive technologies needed for success in school or the workplace. We provide training to develop office and job-related skills, and to help build self-esteem. We also offer employment services to help with finding and keeping a job. Programming includes vocational evaluation; work readiness; assistive technology assessment; training; coaching; job placement; and job retention. In 2012, wells fargo awarded courage center $25,000 for technology upgrades in the vocational services program, which went toward upgrading computer training equipment and software. In 2013 45 new clients were placed in new jobs or served by supported employment. Ten clients were placed as full-time employees and 35 as part-time employees. For the 35 clients working part-time, the averag starting pay was $10.33 an hour; for those working full-time it was $ 12.03. Clients' salaries ranged from $ 7.25 to $ 20 an hour. The current hourly minimum wage in minnesota is $ 7.25.courage center's independent living skills (ils) program strengthens clients' skills in managing their own affairs, including day-to-day life in the community, on-the-job and with family and friends. Clients experience a range of disabilities, including cognitive limitations and mental illness. An ils specialist meets clients in their homes or other locations to provide education, training and support until all goals are met. These specialists are knowledgeable about a variety of community resources and are experts at teaching clients how to advocate for themselves. Services available through ils include health management, household management and organization, meal planning, grocery shopping and cooking, memory compensation strategies, problem solving assistance, safety and self defense, time management, transportation resources, and funding. Outcome data supports that for each year clients are in the independent living skills program, their participation in community activity increases, they move toward affordable, accessible, supported housing, and report improved quality of life. Adult rehabilitative mental health services (armhs) is a rehabilitative program for persons who have a mental health diagnosis along with their brain injury or other physical disability and could benefit from services to regain skills related to independent living, involvement in the community or managing their mental health. Armhs services also can be very helpful in keeping skills that have been regained. An armhs specialist meets clients in their homes and/or other locations to provide skills training and support until all goals are met. The time spent with the specialist varies from client to client, and typically decreases as personal goals are achieved. Drivers assessment and training provides assessments for clients with disabilities or concerns related to aging or illness. Assessments include vision, reaction time, memory, problem solving, body strength and coordination, and cognitive skills. Drivers training offers personalized behind-the-wheel instruction; adapted vehicles are available for instruction.\n\nSports and recreation: courage center is a nationally recognized center for adapted sports and recreation with programs in the twin cities and duluth.

In august 2012, todd anderson field was dedicated in brooklyn park, minn. It is the first softball field of its kind in minnesota, fully accessible for competitive wheelchair softball competition. Philanthropic support for building the field came from the minnesota twins, pepsi, the city of brooklyn park and otto bock, among others. At courage center duluth, a $15,000 grant from the northland foundation went toward providing after-school sports and recreation programming for students with autism. The veteran's administration and the U.S.. Olympic committee expanded its support of courage center operation liberty program for veterans with disabilities and medical conditions with a $75,000 grant.

Both organizations saw that the opportunity to share resources and plan as one collaborative entity versus two would strenghthen our programs and better serve the community long into the future. At the end of 2012, courage center and courage foundation transferred property, staff and donor designated funds to the resulting new organization, initially called \"camps of courage and friendship\". As courage center made the decision to transfer the operation during 2012 and courage center has no residual rights to the camp assets after contribution, it has accounted for the transaction as discontinued operations.","year":2012,"name":"COURAGE CENTER","phone":"6122620660","website":"WWW.COURAGECENTER.ORG","type":"990","principal_officer":"JAN MALCOLM","year_formation":1928,"state_legal_domicile":"MN","total_volunteers":1045,"tax_period_begin":"2012-10-01T00:00:00","tax_period_end":"2013-06-01T00:00:00","address":"PO BOX 43 MR 10890, MINNEAPOLIS, MN, 554400043, USA","city":"MINNEAPOLIS","state":"MN","country":"USA","zip_code":"554400043"},"Governance":{"501c3 determination":true,"Number of voting members":18,"Number of independent voting members":18,"Number of employees total":835,"Total Gross UBI":0,"Net unrelated business taxable income":0,"Number of employees":835,"Prohibited tax shelter transactions":false,"Taxable party notification":false,"Funds to pay premiums":false,"Premiums Paid":false,"Family or business relationship":false,"Delegation of management duties":false,"Conflict of interest policy":true,"Whistle blower policy":true,"Compensation process for CEO":true,"Compensation process for other employees":true,"Changes to organizing documents":true,"Material diversion or misuse":false,"Members or stockholders":false,"Election of board members":false,"Decisions subject to approval":false,"Minutes of governing body":true,"Local chapters":false,"Form 990 provided to governing body":true,"Document retention policy":true,"Investment in joint venture":true,"Independent audit financial statements":false,"Consolidated audit financial statements":true,"Accountant compile or review":false,"Financial statements audited by independent accountant":true,"Audit committee":true,"Federal grant audit required":false,"Audited financial statements consolidated":true,"Political activities":false,"Donor advised funds":true,"Conservation easements":false,"Collections of art":false,"School":false,"Hospital":false,"Foreign activities":false,"Foreign office":false,"Gaming":false,"Fundraising activities":true,"Professional fundraising":true,"Loan to officer or DQP":false,"Grant to related person":false,"Business relationship through family member":false,"Business relationship with organization":false,"Transfers to exempt non-charitable organization":false},"Revenues":{"value":28461841,"Contributions":{"value":6918251,"Other contributions":4877857,"Fundraising revenue":2963,"Campaigns":270651,"Grant revenue":351280,"Related organizations":1415500},"Program revenue":{"value":20621132,"Total revenue":{"value":19904061,"VARIOUS":19904061},"Total other revenue":717071,"Unrelated business revenue":0},"Investment income":{"value":660884,"Investment income total":661416,"Net investment gain":-532},"Other revenues":{"value":261574,"Other total":269506,"Net income from fundraising events":-218490,"Net income":210558}},"Expenses":{"value":31616913,"Grant expense":{"value":1966013,"Grants to domestic orgs":1962663,"Foreign grants":3350},"Total professional fundraising expense":{"value":218994,"Fundraising professional":218994},"Benefits paid to members":{"value":0},"Salaries":{"value":20743301,"Other salaries and wages":16594791,"Pension plan contributions":546956,"Other employee benefits":2100459,"Payroll taxes":1501095},"Other expenses":{"value":8688605,"Legal":584656,"Accounting":216108,"Other services":1158262,"Advertising":168490,"Office expenses":1750815,"Information technology":544736,"Occupancy":1366762,"Travel":300324,"Conferences and meetings":74056,"Interest":84640,"Depreciation and depletion":1406512,"Insurance":261749,"Itemized Expenses":{"value":675111,"VARIOUS":675111},"All other expenses":96384}},"Assets":{"value":0,"Non-interest bearing cash":0,"Savings and temp cash investments":0,"Pledges and grants receivable":0,"Accounts receivable":0,"Receivables from officers":0,"Receivables from disqual persons":0,"Other net note and loans":0,"Inventories for sale or use":0,"Prepaid expenses deferred charges":0,"Land, building, equipment":0,"Investments publicly traded":0,"Investments other":0,"Investments program related":0,"Intangible assets":0,"Other assets":0},"Liabilities":{"value":0,"Other liabilities":0},"Fund balance":{"value":0},"Form990Details":{"program_service_accomplishments":[{"description":"PHYSICAL, OCCUPATIONAL, AND SPEECH THERAPY SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE IN FOUR METRO AREA LOCATIONS - GOLDEN VALLEY, BURNSVILLE, STILLWATER AND FOREST LAKE - AS WELL AS NUMEROUS COMMUNITY-BASED SITES. IN JUNE 2012, COURAGE CENTER GOLDEN VALLEY PARTNERED WITH SEVERAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO OFFER REHABILITATION THERAPY AT HERITAGE PARK SENIOR SERVICES CENTER IN NORTH MINNEAPOLIS. THE CENTER IS A FULLY ACCESSIBLE SENIOR HEALTH AND WELLNESS CENTER ADJACENT TO THE 102 UNIT HERITAGE COMMONS AT POND'S EDGE SENIOR DEVELOPMENT. THE CENTER HOUSES A HEALTH CLINIC, ADULT DAYCARE PROGRAM, FITNESS PROGRAMS, A THERAPY POOL AS WELL AS PROVIDES OFFICE AND PROGRAM SPACE FOR VARIOUS SOCIAL SERVICES PROVIDERS. PARTNERS INCLUDE MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY, NEIGHBORHOOD HEALTHSOURCE INC., YMCA OF METROPOLITAN MINNEAPOLIS, AUGUSTANA CARE CORPORATION, COURAGE CENTER AND THE MINNEAPOLIS HIGHRISE REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL. PHYSICIAN SERVICES:COURAGE CENTER'S PHYSICIANS' CLINIC, STAFFED BY COURAGE CENTER PHYSICIAN ASSOCIATES, IS LED BY COURAGE CENTER MEDICAL DIRECTOR BONNIE WARHOL, M.D., A SPECIALIST IN PHYSICAL MEDICINE AND REHABILITATION. IN 2012, THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES (CMS) AWARDED COURAGE CENTER ONE OF THE FIRST NATIONWIDE HEALTH CARE INNOVATION AWARDS. THE THREE-YEAR $1.8 MILLION GRANT WILL ALLOW COURAGE CENTER TO FURTHER DEVELOP ITS PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOME MODEL FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND COMPLEX MEDICAL CONDITIONS. THE AWARD BUILDS ON A SUCCESSFUL PILOT PROGRAM, LAUNCHED IN 2009, THAT CURRENTLY SERVES MORE THAN 220 PEOPLE IN THE GREATER TWIN CITIES. COURAGE CENTER'S CARE MODEL IS MORE THAN A PLACE; IT'S A PHILOSOPHY OF CARE. WHERE MOST HEALTH CARE HOMES SEEK TO ADD SOCIAL SERVICES AND SUPPORTS TO AN EXISTING PRIMARY CARE CLINIC, COURAGE CENTER HAS ADDED DISABILITY-COMPETENT PRIMARY CARE TO A ROBUST PACKAGE OF EXISTING SUPPORTS INCLUDING MENTAL HEALTH, REHABILITATION THERAPIES, HEALTH AND WELLNESS SERVICES, AND OTHER COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES. THIS TYPE OF MEDICAL HOME IS THE ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND IN MINNESOTA. PARTICIPANTS IN THE PILOT PROGRAM HAVE AN AVERAGE OF EIGHT CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS AND, PRIOR TO ENROLLMENT IN THE MEDICAL HOME, SPENT NEARLY 11 DAYS A YEAR IN THE HOSPITAL. AFTER JOINING COURAGE CENTER'S MEDICAL HOME PARTICIPANTS REDUCED THEIR TIME SPENT IN THE HOSPITAL BY 70 PERCENT, A REDUCTION AMOUNTING TO YEARLY SAVINGS OF OVER $3.43 MILLION FOR THE 220 CURRENT MEMBERS. COURAGE CENTER HOPES TO SERVE AS A MODEL OF CARE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND COMPLEX MEDICAL NEEDS ACROSS THE NATION. ALSO, IN 2012, COURAGE CENTER WAS DESIGNATED AS A MEDICAL SPINE CENTER BY HEALTHPARTNERS. COURAGE CENTER ST. CROIX: LOCATED IN STILLWATER, CCSC IS A STATE-OF-THE-ART ADULT AND PEDIATRIC REHABILITATION CENTER. STILLWATER-AREA CLIENTS, FROM BOTH MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN, RECEIVE PHYSICAL, OCCUPATIONAL AND/OR SPEECH THERAPY; WARM WATER POOL THERAPY; AND CAN PARTICIPATE IN AN ACCESSIBLE FITNESS AND WELLNESS CENTER. IN SEPTEMBER 2012, COURAGE CENTER ST. CROIX MOVED THERAPY SERVICES FOR CLIENTS AGE BIRTH TO 8 YEARS OLD TO THE NEW EARLY CHILDHOOD FAMILY CENTER (ECFC), JUST NORTH OF STILLWATER JUNIOR HIGH. IN ADDITION TO COURAGE CENTER THERAPY SERVICES, THE NEW CENTER HOUSES STILLWATER EARLY CHILDHOOD SPECIAL EDUCATION, EARLY CHILDHOOD FAMILY EDUCATION, NORTHEAST METRO DISTRICT 916 AND A VARIETY OF OTHER EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING. THE NEW LOCATION ALLOWS COURAGE CENTER ST. CROIX TO ENHANCE AND GROW AT BOTH LOCATIONS TO BETTER SERVE CLIENTS AND FAMILIES. IT ALSO FACILITATES BETTER INTEGRATION OF MEDICAL SERVICES PROVIDED BY COURAGE CENTER AND EDUCATIONAL SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN STAFF MEMBERS ENABLES SEAMLESS COLLABORATION AND CONTINUITY OF CARE, IMPROVING SERVICES FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL CLIENT. THE CENTER IS MORE CONVENIENT FOR CLIENTS AND FAMILIES BY REDUCING TRAVEL TIME AND SCHEDULING ISSUES. AS PART OF THE NEW FACILITY, CLIENTS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO A LARGE SHARED GYM AND PLAYGROUND AREAS.

Our mission is to empower people with disabilities to realize their full potential in every aspect of life, guided by the vision that one day, all people will live, work, learn and play in a community based on abilities, not disabilities.","primary_activities":"Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapy Services are available in four metro area locations - Golden Valley, Burnsville, Stillwater and Forest Lake - as well as numerous community-based sites. In June 2012, Courage Center Golden Valley partnered with several community organizations to offer rehabilitation therapy at Heritage Park Senior Services Center in North Minneapolis. The center is a fully accessible senior health and wellness center adjacent to the 102-unit Heritage Commons at Pond's Edge senior development. The Center houses a health clinic, adult daycare program, fitness programs, a therapy pool as well as provides office and program space for various social services providers. Partners include Minneapolis Public Housing Authority, Neighborhood HealthSource Inc., YMCA of Metropolitan Minneapolis, Augustana Care Corporation, Courage Center and the Minneapolis Highrise Representative Council. Physician Services:Courage Center's Physicians' Clinic, staffed by Courage Center Physician Associates, is led by Courage Center medical director Bonnie Warhol, M.D., a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation. In 2012, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) awarded Courage Center one of the first nationwide Health Care Innovation Awards. The three-year $1.8 million grant will allow Courage Center to further develop its patient-centered medical home model for people with disabilities and complex medical conditions. The award builds on a successful pilot program, launched in 2009, that currently serves more than 200 people in the greater Twin Cities. Courage Center's care model is more than a place; it's a philosophy of care. Where most health care homes seek to add social services and supports to an existing primary care clinic, Courage Center has added disability-competent primary care to a robust package of existing supports including mental health, rehabilitation therapies, health and wellness services, and other community-based services. This type of medical home is the only one of its kind in Minnesota. Participants in the pilot program have an average of eight chronic health conditions and, prior to enrolment in the medical home, spent nearly 11 days a year in the hospital. After joining Courage Center's medical home participants reduced their time spent in the hospital by 80 percent, a reduction amounting to yearly savings of over $3.25 million for the 200 current members. Courage Center hopes to serve as a model of care for people with disabilities and complex medical needs across the nation. Also, in 2012, Courage Center was designated as a Medical Spine Center by HealthPartners. Courage Center St. Croix: Located in Stillwater, CCSC is a state-of-the-art adult and pediatric rehabilitation center. Stillwater-area clients, from both Minnesota and Wisconsin, receive physical, occupational and/or speech therapy; warm water pool therapy; and can participate in an accessible fitness and wellness center. In September 2012, Courage Center St. Croix moved therapy services for clients age birth to 8 years old to the new Early Childhood Family Center (ECFC), just north of Stillwater Junior High. In addition to Courage Center therapy services, the new center houses Stillwater Early Childhood Special Education, Early Childhood Family Education, Northeast Metro District 916 and a variety of other educational programming. The new location allows Courage Center St. Croix to enhance and grow at both locations to better serve clients and families. It also facilitates better integration of medical services provided by Courage Center and educational services provided by the school district. Communication between staff members enables seamless collaboration and continuity of care, improving services for each individual client. The center is more convenient for clients and families by reducing travel time and scheduling issues. As part of the new facility, clients will have access to a large shared gym and playground areas. Health, Wellness and Recreation: Courage Center Golden Valley is a site for the Dana and Christopher Reeve Foundation's NeuroRecovery Network's (NRN) intensive fitness program. Courage Center's Activity Based Locomotor Exercise (ABLE) program for people with paralysis includes participation in a national, longitudinal study at multiple sites tracking the progress of participating clients as they gain greater strength and mobility through intensive fitness activities. For some, the program holds the possibility of increased mobility based on the phenomenon of neuroplasticity, with healthy cells and nerves expanding and compensating for damaged cells. Philanthropic support for the ABLE program was provided by Deli Express with a $50,000 given for scholarships for people to participate in the program. Courage Center's Chronic Pain Rehabilitation Program remains the only inpatient program of its type and enjoys a deserved reputation for effectiveness in the region. The comprehensive three-week multidisciplinary program is for people who in spite of undergoing standard medical treatment, continue to remain disabled with chronic pain. The primary purposes of the program are to increase function and decrease use of the medical system. In 2011 outcome statistics for the program clients reported significantly increased function in home activities; of those who entered the program on opioids, 73 percent decreased or discontinued these medications. In addition, 99 percent of clients rated the program as excellent or good and 92 percent of referring physicians who saw their patient said the referral was worthwhile. The Community Reintegration Program is a medically prescribed outpatient service assisting adults with mild to moderate brain injury to learn the necessary skills for independence, safety and employment. Mental health and behavior services offer clients and families counseling, behavior management skills training, psychiatric services, and neuropsychological assessment.\n\nCourage Center's Transitional Rehabilitation Program(TRP), licensed as a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF), provides comprehensive inpatient rehabilitative services to assist people with disabilities and/or people recovering from illness, injury or surgery in gaining greater independence. The TRP serves as a \"bridge\" - a transitional setting between acute care and a client returning to a home or community living setting. The TRP serves clients with spinal cord injuries, brain injuries and stroke, as well as people with congenital disabilities. TRP is a personalized, holistic inpatient rehabilitation program. We use our facility as a temporary residence for those who need significant rehabilitation. It provides a welcoming, healing environment that uses the latest technology, adaptive equipment and complementary medicine to help clients reach a level where they are able to move on to community living. The average age of Courage Center's TRP residents is approximately 48. We had 213 clients in the program in 2012.\n\nVocational Services: Employment is a serious issue for people with disabilities. In 2011, 11.6% of working age adults had a disability. At that time, the employment rate of working-age people with disabilities was 17.7%. In comparison, the employment rate of working age people without disabilities was 63%. Vocational Services assists people in developing career plans based on their unique abilities, interests and limitations. Our vocational experts assist in developing an individual vocational plan and identifying any assistive technologies needed for success in school or the workplace. We provide training to develop office- and job-related skills, and to help build self-esteem. We also offer employment services to help with finding and keeping a job. Programming includes vocational evaluation; work readiness; assistive technology assessment; training; coaching; job placement; and job retention. In 2012, Wells Fargo awarded Courage Center $25,000 for technology upgrades in the Vocational Services program, which went toward upgrading computer training equipment and software. In 2011, 48 new clients were placed in new jobs or served by supported employment. Thirteen clients were placed as full-time employees and 35 as part-time employees. For the 35 clients working part-time, the average starting pay rate was $11.31 an hour; for those working full-time it was $16.81. Clients' salaries ranged from $7.25 to $65 an hour. The current hourly minimum wage in Minnesota is $7.25. Courage Center's Independent Living Skills (ILS) program strengthens clients' skills in managing their own affairs, including day-to-day life in the community, on-the-job and with family and friends. Clients experience a range of disabilities, including cognitive limitations and mental illness. An ILS specialist meets clients in their homes or other locations to provide education, training and support until all goals are met. These specialists are knowledgeable about a variety of community resources and are experts at teaching clients how to advocate for themselves. Services available through ILS include health management, household management and organization, meal planning, grocery shopping and cooking, memory compensation strategies, problem solving assistance, safety and self defense, time management, transportation resources, and funding. Outcome data supports that for each year clients are in the Independent Living Skills Program, their participation in community activity increases, they move toward affordable, accessible, supported housing, and report improved quality of life. Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services (ARMHS) is a rehabilitative program for persons who have a mental health diagnosis along with their brain injury or other physical disability and could benefit from services to regain skills related to independent living, involvement in the community or managing their mental health. ARMHS services also can be very helpful in keeping skills that have been regained. An ARMHS specialist meets clients in their homes and/or other locations to provide skills training and support until all goals are met. The time spent with the specialist varies from client to client, and typically decreases as personal goals are achieved. Drivers Assessment and Training provides assessments for clients with disabilities or concerns related to aging or illness. Assessments include vision, reaction time, memory, problem solving, body strength and coordination, and cognitive skills. Drivers training offers personalized behind-the-wheel instruction; adapted vehicles are available for instruction.\n\nCourage Center is a nationally recognized center for adapted sports and recreation with programs in the Twin Cities and Duluth. Many of our wheelchair sports teams are national champions and many of our athletes and coaches are nationally and internationally recognized. Sports activities are available for just about everyone regardless of age or ability, including skiing, golfing, biking, archery, kayaking or horseback riding, as well as competitive team sports such as basketball, softball and power soccer. In August 2012, Todd Anderson Field was dedicated in Brooklyn Park, Minn. It is the first softball field of its kind in Minnesota, fully accessible for competitive wheelchair softball competition. Philanthropic support for building the field came from The Minnesota Twins, Pepsi, the City of Brooklyn Park and Otto Bock, among others. At Courage Center Duluth, a $15,000 grant from the Northland Foundation went toward providing after-school sports and recreation programming for students with autism. The Veteran's Administration and the U.S.. Olympic Committee expanded its support of Courage Center Operation Liberty program for veterans with disabilities and medical conditions with a $75,000 grant. Operation Liberty offers free sports and recreation programming to veterans.\n\nCourage Center's website had 696,912 visitor sessions from Oct. 1, 2011 through Sept. 30, 2012, for a daily average of 1,904 visits. Social media continued to be an important communication tool in fiscal year 2012. Courage Center's public website, blogs, e-newsletters, Facebook page and groups, YouTube videos, Pinterest boards and \"tweets\" via Twitter are now integrated into the ways we tell our stories, and showcase our programs, services and events.\n\nDuring the year ended September 30, 2012, Courage Center's Board of Directors made a decision to contribute the camp operations to a mission-oriented organization and began discussions in that regard with Children's Disability Service Association/Friendship Ventures. In November 2012, Courage Center reached agreement with Friendship, and its affiliate Friendship Foundation, to transfer the camp assets (consisting primarily of real estate, equipment, and unspent and pledged camp contributions) net of camp liabilities of Courage Center and Courage Foundation, Inc.\n\nCourage Center has a robust fundraising effort to engage the community in supporting our mission. We employ a number of fundraising methods including individual, corporate and foundation solicitation as well as direct mail. We also employ fundraising methods such as Cars for Courage, Clothing for Courage and special events which are higher cost methods of raising money. We believe these are effective ways to reach out to the broadest community to educate and involve the greatest number of people in our mission.\n\nCourage Center's vehicle donation program's cost to raise a dollar is over 30%. Without this program, Courage Center's cost to raise a dollar would drop overall by 6 percentage points. We continue to operate the vehicle donation program because the net is over $1 million and it gives the community a chance to donate to Courage Center who would otherwise not.\n\nCourage Center is a Minnesota-based rehabilitation and resource center that advances the lives of children and adults experiencing barriers to health and independence. At Courage Center, we specialize in treating brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, chronic pain, autism, and disabilities experienced since birth. We use a holistic approach that includes inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient rehabilitation, physician services, community-based services, and aquatics, wellness and fitness programs. Our inpatient Transitional Rehabilitation Program (TRP) offers clients intensive, short-term rehabilitation after brain injury, stroke and spinal cord injury. We also have a three-week inpatient chronic pain rehabilitation program. Our physicians' clinic specializes in clients with complex health conditions and disabilities; it is structured to reflect the health care home model showcased in recent federal health care reform efforts. At Courage Center research is ongoing to determine outcomes and best practice. Courage Center has an earned reputation as a leading advocacy organization for people with disabilities regionally and nationally. Courage Center has Minnesota locations in Burnsville, Forest Lake, Golden Valley and Stillwater, as well as many community-based services and partner organizations; and a sports and recreation program in Duluth. Founded in 1928, Courage Center is a nonprofit organization offering advanced technologies and innovation provided in part through the efforts of thousands of volunteers and donors. Courage Center is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), and is a United Way agency. Courage Center meets all 16 accountability standards set forth by the Minnesota Charities Review Council indicating a commitment to accountable ethical practices.\n\nIn 2012 Courage Center merged its camping programs with those of Friendship Ventures, another leading provider of accessible camping, respite and travel for people with disabilities in our service area. Both organizations saw that the opportunity to share resources and plan as one collaborative entity versus two would strengthen our programs and better serve the community long into the future. At the end of 2012, Courage Center and Courage Foundation transferred property, staff, and donor designated funds to the resulting new organization, initially called \"Camps of Courage and Friendship\". As Courage Center made the decision to transfer the operation during 2012 and Courage Center has no residual rights to the camp assets after contribution, it has accounted for the transaction as discontinued operations.","year":2011,"name":"COURAGE

Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services (ARMHS) is a rehabilitative program for persons who have a mental health diagnosis along with their brain injury or other physical disability and could benefit from services to regain skills related to independent living, involvement in the community or managing their mental health. ARMHS services also can be very helpful in keeping skills that have been regained. An ARMHS specialist meets clients in their homes and/or other locations to provide skills training and support until all goals are met. The time spent with the specialist varies from client to client, and typically decreases as personal goals are achieved. Drivers Assessment and Training provides assessments for clients with disabilities or concerns related to aging or illness. Assessments include vision, reaction time, memory, problem solving, body strength and coordination, and cognitive skills. Drivers training offers personalized behind-the-wheel instruction; adapted vehicles are available for instruction.","expense":4273512,"grants":0,"revenue":3946927},{"description":"Courage Center is a nationally recognized center for adapted sports and recreation with programs in the Twin Cities and Duluth. Many of our wheelchair sports teams are national champions and many of our athletes and coaches are nationally and internationally recognized. Sports activities are available for just about everyone regardless of age or ability, including skiing, golfing, biking, archery, kayaking or horseback riding, as well as competitive team sports such as basketball, softball and power soccer. In August 2012, Todd Anderson Field was dedicated in Brooklyn Park, Minn. It is the first softball field of its kind in Minnesota, fully accessible for competitive wheelchair softball competition. Philanthropic support for building the field came from The Minnesota Twins, Pepsi, the City of Brooklyn Park and Otto Bock, among others. At Courage Center Duluth, a $15,000 grant from the Northland Foundation went toward providing after-school sports and recreation programming for students with autism. The Veteran's Administration and the U.S. Olympic Committee expanded its support of Courage Center Operation Liberty program for veterans with disabilities and medical conditions with a $75,000 grant.

Our mission is to empower people with disabilities to realize their full potential in every aspect of life, guided by the vision that one day, all people will live, work, learn and play in a community based on abilities, not disabilities.","primary_activities":"Courage Center Golden Valley serves both adults and children. It is Courage Center's largest, full-service site and location of the inpatient Transitional Rehabilitation Program (described below). Courage Center Burnsville serves adults and children, although the majority are pediatric clients with physical disabilities, autism, and/or sensory challenges. Courage Center's innovative services include functional electrical stimulation (FES) devices, including FES bikes and Bioness technology for upper and lower extremities. Interactive Metronome's repetitive challenge and technology is adapted for both children and adults in innovative routines customized to the client for maximum effect. The Interactive Metronome Gait Mate focuses on improving a person's walking pattern. The Gait Mate augments traditional rehabilitation approaches for people of all ages with neurological and orthopedic conditions, brain injuries and sports injuries. Courage Center's Physicians' Clinic, staffed by Courage Center Physician Associates, is lead by Courage Center medical director Bonnie Warhol, M.D., a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation. In the past year, Courage Center physicians have added telemedicine technology, allowing regular updates with clients with disabilities and complex medical conditions. Courage Center also offers an outpatient spasticity clinic which provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment of spasticity; treatment plans are customized for each client and reflect an interdisciplinary approach. Where most health care homes seek to add social services and supports to an existing primary care clinic, Courage Center has added disability-competent primary care to a robust package of existing supports including mental health, rehabilitation therapies, health and wellness services, and other community-based services. This type of medical home is the only one of its kind in Minnesota. Participants in the pilot program have an average of eight chronic health conditions and, prior to enrollment in the medical home, spent nearly 11 days a year in the hospital. After joining Courage Center's medical home participants reduced their time spent in the hospital by 80 percent, a reduction amounting to yearly savings of over $3.25 million for the 200 current members. Courage Center's Chronic Pain Rehabilitation Program remains the only inpatient service of its type and enjoys a deserved reputation for effectiveness in the region. The program is a comprehensive three-week multidisciplinary program for individuals, who in spite of undergoing standard medical treatment, continue to remain disabled with chronic pain. The primary purposes of the program are to increase function and decrease use of the medical system. In recent outcome statistics for the program, clients reported significantly increased function in home activities; of those who entered the program on opioids, 82 percent decreased or discontinued these medications. In addition, 94 percent of clients rated the program as excellent or good and 93 percent of referring physicians who saw their patient said the referral was worthwhile. Courage Center Burnsville moved to new clinic space, offering many benefits to clients, families and employees, including: more parking space, and lots of natural light and green spaces to create a better healing environment for clients. The space is also more cost-effective, and will allow the clinic to expand to serve more adult clients. The Community Reintegration Program is a medically prescribed outpatient service assisting adults with mild to moderate brain injury to learn the necessary skills for independence, safety and employment. Mental health and behavior services offer clients and families counseling, behavior management skills training, psychiatric services, and neuropsychological assessment. Courage Center Golden Valley is a site for the Dana and Christopher Reeve Foundation's NeuroRecovery Network's (NRN) intensive fitness program. Courage Center's Activity Based Locomotor Exercise (ABLE) program for those with paralysis includes participation in a national, longitudinal study at multiple sites tracking the progress of participating clients as they gain greater strength and mobility through intensive fitness activities. For some, the program holds the possibility of increased mobility based on the phenomenon of neuroplasticity, with healthy cells and nerves expanding and compensating for damaged cells. Courage Center St. Croix, in Stillwater, is a state-of-the-art adult and pediatric rehabilitation center. Stillwater-area clients, from both Minnesota and Wisconsin, receive physical, occupational and/or speech therapy; warm water pool therapy; and can participate in an accessible fitness and wellness center. A multi-year discussion with the area's school officials will result in a new education center, sharing programming with Courage Center and allowing for improved use of Courage Center St. Croix's physical space. Courage Center Forest Lake serves both adults and children. At Forest Lake, Stiwell Med4 is a new addition to Courage Center's functional electrical stimulation rehabilitation therapy tools. Courage Center Forest Lake is the first clinic in the nation to offer this technology for people with stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury and other motor control problems; the device can be used with children, teens and adults. (Clients served [medical rehab services at Golden Valley, Burnsville, Forest Lake and St. Croix combined, including TRP] 5,829; Aquatics and Fitness [all locations] 3,263.\n\nCourage Center's inpatient Transitional Rehabilitation Program (TRP) serves individuals with spinal cord injuries, brain injuries and stroke, as well as people with congenital disabilities such as spina bifida, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy. In 2011, the program began serving patients who require IV medications or oxygen. The average age of Courage Center's TRP participants was 48, and ranged from 18 to 84. We had 167 clients in the program in 2010, of which 154 were discharged to the community; length of stay averaged just short of three months. Program staff works with participants in creating an individualized, goal-focused rehabilitation program. Clients have access to all Courage Center programs and services based on their individual needs and interests. Through active participation in therapies and activities of daily living, individuals are challenged to demonstrate personal responsibility and gain greater independence. Client satisfaction with TRP services reflects over 87% satisfaction with \"discharge planning and nursing staff,\" and 93% satisfaction with \"expertise of therapist.\" Clients reported 93% satisfaction with \"feeling safe and respected,\" and 97% of clients felt satisfied with their experience overall. In addition, 93% would recommend the Transitional Rehabilitation program to others.\n\nEmployment is a serious issue for persons with disabilities. In 2010, 11.6% of working age adults had a disability. At that time, the employment rate of working-age persons with disabilities was 17.7%. In comparison, at the same time, the employment rate of working age people without disabilities was 63%. And, with the downturn in the economy, employment for individuals with disabilities has become even more challenging. Vocational Services assists people develop career plans based on their unique abilities, interests and limitations. The staff identifies assistive technologies needed to help clients succeed in work or school. Our vocational experts assist in developing an individual vocational plan and identifying any assistive technologies needed for success in school or the workplace. We provide training to develop office- and job-related skills, and to help build self-esteem. We also offer employment services to help with finding and keeping a job. Programming includes vocational evaluation; work readiness; assistive technology assessment; office skills assessment and training; job placement; and job retention. Because of the downturn in the economy, only 21 clients were placed in 2010; an additional 50 clients were served in supported employment, receiving coaching and other employment retention services. Independence includes having responsibility and control of the choices made in life. Courage Center's Independent Living Skills (ILS) program strengthens clients' skills in managing their own affairs, including day to day life in the community, on the job and with family and friends. Clients experience a range of disabilities, including cognitive limitations and mental illness. An Independent Living Skills specialist meets clients in their homes or other locations to provide education, training and support until all goals are met. These specialists are knowledgeable about a variety of community resources and are experts at teaching clients how to advocate for themselves. Services available through ILS include health management, household management and organization, meal planning, grocery shopping and cooking, memory compensation strategies, problem solving assistance, safety and self defense, time management, transportation resources, and funding. Outcome data supports that for each year clients are in the Independent Living Skills Program, their participation in community activity increases, they move toward affordable, accessible, supported housing, and report improved quality of life. Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services (ARMHS) is a rehabilitative program for persons who have a mental health diagnosis along with their brain injury or other physical disability and could benefit from services to regain skills related to independent living, involvement in the community or managing their mental health. ARMHS services also can be very helpful in keeping skills that have been regained. An ARMHS specialist meets clients in their homes and/or other locations to provide skills training and support until all goals are met. The time spent with the specialist varies from client to client, and typically decreases as personal goals are achieved. Drivers Assessment and Training provides assessments for clients with disabilities or concerns related to aging or illness. Assessments include vision, reaction time, memory, problem solving, body strength and coordination, and cognitive skills. Drivers training offers personalized behind-the-wheel instruction; adapted vehicles are available for instruction. (Vocational Services: 424. ILS, ARMHS, Drivers combined: 1,531)\n\nFor more than 55 years, Courage Center Camps have provided camping programs for people of all ages and all physical abilities. Courage Center Camps are accredited by the American Camp Association and have met or exceeded camping industry standards for excellence in programs, staff and facilities for more than 35 years. The Courage Center Camps experience facilitates the development of personal strengths, such as self esteem, honesty, responsibility and feeling in control of one's life. Campers also have opportunities for social interactions, including friendship, positive peer and adult role models, and learning to resolve conflicts peacefully and feel valued by others. At Courage Center Camps, 88 percent of campers reported they had built skills in the areas of friendship, 82 percent in independence and 88 percent in competence. Camp Courage lies on 305 acres of beautiful lakeshore, woods and fields near Maple Lake, Minnesota (about 50 miles west of the Twin Cities). Camp Courage North is set amid 105 acres of towering pines on Lake George, near Itasca State Park in northern Minnesota. We also provide camps in partnership with organizations such as the American Lung Association and the MS Society. Our amateur ham radio camp and ongoing program, run by the Handi Hams program, is nationally recognized (participants: 1,017). Courage Center Camps and its campers garner substantial positive media attention throughout the year both in the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota. Courage Center Camps underwent sizeable change this past year as costs continued to rise and donations plateaued during the recession. The majority of camp sessions were offered at Camp Courage, with Courage North offered to groups and families on a rental basis. Campers numbered 538, a 15 percent reduction from the prior year. Camping organizations everywhere are experiencing financial challenges.\n\nCourage Center's website had 667,739 visitor sessions from October 1, 2010 through Sept. 30, 2011, for a daily average of 1,829 visits. Social media continued to be an important communication tool in FY2011. Courage Center's public website, blogs, e-newsletters, Facebook page and groups, YouTube videos, Pinterest boards and \"tweets\" via Twitter are now integrated into the ways we tell our stories, and showcase our programs, services and events.\n\nAthletic and Sports Programs, General/Other: Courage Center Courage Center is a nationally recognized center for adapted sports and recreation with programs in the Twin Cities and Duluth. Many of our wheelchair sports teams are national champs (power soccer, wheelchair basketball) and many of our athletes and coaches are nationally and internationally recognized. Sports activities are available for just about everyone regardless of age or ability, including skiing, golfing, biking, archery, kayaking or horseback riding, as well as competitive team sports such as basketball, softball and power soccer. Courage Center's Sports and Recreation Program provides recreational opportunities to 470 clients in 2010. The program prides itself on providing sports and recreational opportunities to persons of any age and ability. During this reporting period, the age of participants ranged from 6 to 97 years old. Almost 50 percent of these participants were 11 to 20 years old. Ninety-six percent of participants reported that they had fun and reached their goals. Eighty-three percent of participants reported feeling better about themselves as a result of participation. Over 77% of those responding to satisfaction surveys included feeling better emotionally, having improved self-image and increased confidence as other areas impacted by participation in sports and recreation.\n\nCourage Center has a robust fundraising effort to engage the community in supporting our mission. We employ a number of fundraising methods including individual, corporate and foundation solicitation as well as direct mail. We also employ fundraising methods such as Cars for Courage, Clothing for Courage and special events which are higher cost methods of raising money. We believe these are effective ways to reach out to the broadest community to educate and involve the greatest number of people in our mission.\n\nCourage Center has two fundraising strategies where the cost to raise a dollar is 50% and higher. These strategies are vehicle donations, household goods collections, and special events (including dinner and golf events). Without these strategies, Courage Center's cost to raise a dollar would drop overall by over 8 percentage points. We continue to operate these strategies because the net is over $1.4 million and it gives a wide cross section of the community a chance to donate to Courage Center who would otherwise not. The total fundraising expenses would drop by over $1 million if these strategies were discontinued.\n\nCourage Center is a Minnesota-based rehabilitation and resource center that advances the lives of children and adults experiencing barriers to health and independence. Courage Center's mission is to empower people with disabilities to realize their full potential in every aspect of life, guided by the vision that one day, all people will live, work, learn and play in a community based on abilities, not disabilities. At Courage Center, we specialize in treating brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, chronic pain, autism, and disabilities experienced since birth. We use a holistic approach that includes comprehensive rehabilitation therapies, independent living services, psychological and mental health services, drivers' assessment services, vocational evaluation and training, a community reintegration program, accessible aquatics and fitness programs, camps, and adapted sports and recreation programs. We have an inpatient residential program for rehabilitation after brain injury, stroke and spinal cord injury, as well as a three-week inpatient chronic pain rehabilitation program. Our physicians' clinic specializes in clients with complex health conditions and disabilities; it is structured to reflect the health care home model showcased in recent federal health care reform efforts. At Courage Center research is ongoing to determine outcomes and best practice. Courage Center has an earned reputation as an advocacy organization for people with disabilities regionally and nationally. Courage Center has Minnesota locations in Burnsville, Forest Lake, Golden Valley and Stillwater; a sports and recreation program in Duluth; and camps at Maple Lake and Lake George.

It is Courage Center's largest, full-service site and location of the inpatient Transitional Rehabilitation Program (described below). Courage Center Burnsville serves adults and children, although the majority are pediatric clients with physical disabilities, autism, and/or sensory challenges. Courage Center's innovative services include functional electrical stimulation (FES) devices, including FES bikes and Bioness technology for upper and lower extremities. Interactive Metronome's repetitive challenge and technology is adapted for both children and adults in innovative routines customized to the client for maximum effect. The Interactive Metronome Gait Mate focuses on improving a person's walking pattern. The Gait Mate augments traditional rehabilitation approaches for people of all ages with neurological and orthopedic conditions, brain injuries and sports injuries. Courage Center's Physicians' Clinic, staffed by Courage Center Physician Associates, is lead by Courage Center medical director Bonnie Warhol, M.D., a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation. In the past year, Courage Center physicians have added telemedicine technology, allowing regular updates with clients with disabilities and complex medical conditions. Courage Center also offers an outpatient spasticity clinic which provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment of spasticity; treatment plans are customized for each client and reflect an interdisciplinary approach. Where most health care homes seek to add social services and supports to an existing primary care clinic, Courage Center has added disability-competent primary care to a robust package of existing supports including mental health, rehabilitation therapies, health and wellness services, and other community-based services. This type of medical home is the only one of its kind in Minnesota. Participants in the pilot program have an average of eight chronic health conditions and, prior to enrollment in the medical home, spent nearly 11 days a year in the hospital. After joining Courage Center's medical home participants reduced their time spent in the hospital by 80 percent, a reduction amounting to yearly savings of over $3.25 million for the 200 current members. Courage Center's Chronic Pain Rehabilitation Program remains the only inpatient service of its type and enjoys a deserved reputation for effectiveness in the region. The program is a comprehensive three-week multidisciplinary program for individuals, who in spite of undergoing standard medical treatment, continue to remain disabled with chronic pain. The primary purposes of the program are to increase function and decrease use of the medical system. In recent outcome statistics for the program, clients reported significantly increased function in home activities; of those who entered the program on opioids, 82 percent decreased or discontinued these medications. In addition, 94 percent of clients rated the program as excellent or good and 93 percent of referring physicians who saw their patient said the referral was worthwhile. Courage Center Burnsville moved to new clinic space, offering many benefits to clients, families and employees, including: more parking space, and lots of natural light and green spaces to create a better healing environment for clients. The space is also more cost-effective, and will allow the clinic to expand to serve more adult clients. The Community Reintegration Program is a medically prescribed outpatient service assisting adults with mild to moderate brain injury to learn the necessary skills for independence, safety and employment. Mental health and behavior services offer clients and families counseling, behavior management skills training, psychiatric services, and neuropsychological assessment. Courage Center Golden Valley is a site for the Dana and Christopher Reeve Foundation's NeuroRecovery Network's (NRN) intensive fitness program. Courage Center's Activity Based Locomotor Exercise (ABLE) program for those with paralysis includes participation in a national, longitudinal study at multiple sites tracking the progress of participating clients as they gain greater strength and mobility through intensive fitness activities. For some, the program holds the possibility of increased mobility based on the phenomenon of neuroplasticity, with healthy cells and nerves expanding and compensating for damaged cells. Courage Center St. Croix, in Stillwater, is a state-of-the-art adult and pediatric rehabilitation center. Stillwater-area clients, from both Minnesota and Wisconsin, receive physical, occupational and/or speech therapy; warm water pool therapy; and can participate in an accessible fitness and wellness center. A multi-year discussion with the area's school officials will result in a new education center, sharing programming with Courage Center and allowing for improved use of Courage Center St. Croix's physical space. Courage Center Forest Lake serves both adults and children. At Forest Lake, Stiwell Med4 is a new addition to Courage Center's functional electrical stimulation rehabilitation therapy tools. Courage Center Forest Lake is the first clinic in the nation to offer this technology for people with stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury and other motor control problems; the device can be used with children, teens and adults.

In 2011, the program began serving patients who require IV medications or oxygen. The average age of Courage Center's TRP participants was 48, and ranged from 18 to 84. We had 167 clients in the program in 2010, of which 154 were discharged to the community; length of stay averaged just short of three months. Program staff works with participants in creating an individualized, goal-focused rehabilitation program. Clients have access to all Courage Center programs and services based on their individual needs and interests. Through active participation in therapies and activities of daily living, individuals are challenged to demonstrate personal responsibility and gain greater independence. Client satisfaction with TRP services reflects over 87% satisfaction with \"discharge planning and nursing staff,\" and 93% satisfaction with \"expertise of therapist.\" Clients reported 93% satisfaction with \"feeling safe and respected,\" and 97% of clients felt satisfied with their experience overall.

In 2010, 11.6% of working age adults had a disability. At that time, the employment rate of working-age persons with disabilities was 17.7%. In comparison, at the same time, the employment rate of working age people without disabilities was 63%. And, with the downturn in the economy, employment for individuals with disabilities has become even more challenging. Vocational Services assists people develop career plans based on their unique abilities, interests and limitations. The staff identifies assistive technologies needed to help clients succeed in work or school. Our vocational experts assist in developing an individual vocational plan and identifying any assistive technologies needed for success in school or the workplace. We provide training to develop office- and job-related skills, and to help build self-esteem. We also offer employment services to help with finding and keeping a job. Programming includes vocational evaluation; work readiness; assistive technology assessment; office skills assessment and training; job placement; and job retention. Because of the downturn in the economy, only 21 clients were placed in 2010; an additional 50 clients were served in supported employment, receiving coaching and other employment retention services. Independence includes having responsibility and control of the choices made in life. Courage Center's Independent Living Skills (ILS) program strengthens clients' skills in managing their own affairs, including day to day life in the community, on the job and with family and friends. Clients experience a range of disabilities, including cognitive limitations and mental illness. An Independent Living Skills specialist meets clients in their homes or other locations to provide education, training and support until all goals are met. These specialists are knowledgeable about a variety of community resources and are experts at teaching clients how to advocate for themselves. Services available through ILS include health management, household management and organization, meal planning, grocery shopping and cooking, memory compensation strategies, problem solving assistance, safety and self defense, time management, transportation resources, and funding. Outcome data supports that for each year clients are in the Independent Living Skills Program, their participation in community activity increases, they move toward affordable, accessible, supported housing, and report improved quality of life. Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services (ARMHS) is a rehabilitative program for persons who have a mental health diagnosis along with their brain injury or other physical disability and could benefit from services to regain skills related to independent living, involvement in the community or managing their mental health.

In june 2012, courage center golden valley partnered with several community organizations to offer rehabilitation therapy at heritage park senior services center in north minneapolis. The center is a fully accessible senior health and wellness center adjacent to the 102 unit heritage commons at pond's edge senior development. The center houses a health clinic, adult daycare program, fitness programs, a therapy pool as well as provides office and program space for various social services providers. Partners include minneapolis public housing authority, neighborhood healthsource inc., ymca of metropolitan minneapolis, augustana care corporation, courage center and the minneapolis highrise representative council. Physician services:courage center's physicians' clinic, staffed by courage center physician associates, is led by courage center medical director bonnie warhol, m.d., a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation. In 2012, the centers for medicare and medicaid services (cms) awarded courage center one of the first nationwide health care innovation awards. The three-year $1.8 million grant will allow courage center to further develop its patient-centered medical home model for people with disabilities and complex medical conditions. The award builds on a successful pilot program, launched in 2009, that currently serves more than 220 people in the greater twin cities. Courage center's care model is more than a place; it's a philosophy of care. Where most health care homes seek to add social services and supports to an existing primary care clinic, courage center has added disability-competent primary care to a robust package of existing supports including mental health, rehabilitation therapies, health and wellness services, and other community-based services. This type of medical home is the only one of its kind in minnesota. Participants in the pilot program have an average of eight chronic health conditions and, prior to enrollment in the medical home, spent nearly 11 days a year in the hospital. After joining courage center's medical home participants reduced their time spent in the hospital by 70 percent, a reduction amounting to yearly savings of over $3.43 million for the 220 current members. Courage center hopes to serve as a model of care for people with disabilities and complex medical needs across the nation. Also, in 2012, courage center was designated as a medical spine center by healthpartners. Courage center st. Croix: located in stillwater, ccsc is a state-of-the-art adult and pediatric rehabilitation center. Stillwater-area clients, from both minnesota and wisconsin, receive physical, occupational and/or speech therapy; warm water pool therapy; and can participate in an accessible fitness and wellness center. In september 2012, courage center st. Croix moved therapy services for clients age birth to 8 years old to the new early childhood family center (ecfc), just north of stillwater junior high. In addition to courage center therapy services, the new center houses stillwater early childhood special education, early childhood family education, northeast metro district 916 and a variety of other educational programming. The new location allows courage center st. Croix to enhance and grow at both locations to better serve clients and families. It also facilitates better integration of medical services provided by courage center and educational services provided by the school district. Communication between staff members enables seamless collaboration and continuity of care, improving services for each individual client. The center is more convenient for clients and families by reducing travel time and scheduling issues. As part of the new facility, clients will have access to a large shared gym and playground areas. Health, wellness and recreation: courage center golden valley is a site for the dana and christopher reeve foundation's neurorecovery network's (nrn) intensive fitness program. Courage center's activity based locomotor exercise (able) program for people with paralysis includes participation in a national, longitudinal study at multiple sites tracking the progress of participating clients as they gain greater strength and mobility through intensive fitness activities. For some, the program holds the possibility of increased mobility based on the phenomenon of neuroplasticity, with healthy cells and nerves expanding and compensating for damaged cells. Philanthropic support for the able program was provided by deli express with $50,000 given for scholarships for people to participate in the program. Courage center's chronic pain rehabilitation program remains the only inpatient program of its type and enjoys a deserved reputation for effectiveness in the region. The comprehensive three-week multidisciplinary program is for people who in spite of undergoing standard medical treatment, continue to remain disabled with chronic pain. The primary purposes of the program are to increase function and decrease use of the medical system. The community reintegration program is a medically prescribed outpatient service assisting adults with mild to moderate brain injury to learn the necessary skills for independence, safety and employment. Mental health and behavior services offer clients and families counseling, behavior management skills training, psychiatric services, and neuropsychological assessment.\n\nInpatient rehabilitation services: courage center's transitional rehabilitation program(trp), licensed as a skilled nursing facility (snf), provides comprehensive inpatient rehabilitative services to assist people with disabilities and/or people recovering from illness, injury or surgery in gaining greater independence. The trp serves as a \"bridge\" - a transitional setting between acute care and a client returning to a home or community living setting. The trp serves clients with spinal cord injuries, brain injuries and stroke, as well as people with congenital disabilities. Trp is a personalized, holistic inpatient rehabilitation program. We use our facility as a temporary residence for those who need significant rehabilitation. It provides a welcoming, healing environment that uses the latest technology, adaptive equipment and complementary medicine to help clients reach a level where they are able to move on to community living. The average age of courage center's trp residents is approximately 51. We had 183 clients in the program in 2013.\n\nCommunity based services - vocational services: employment is a serious issue for people with disabilities. In 2011, 11.6% of working age adults had a disability. At that time, the employment rate of working-age people with disabilities was 33%. In comparison, the employment rate of working age people without disabilities was 76%. Vocational services assists people in developing career plans based on their unique abilities, interests and limitations. Our vocational experts assist in developing an individual vocational plan and identifying any assistive technologies needed for success in school or the workplace. We provide training to develop office and job-related skills, and to help build self-esteem. We also offer employment services to help with finding and keeping a job. Programming includes vocational evaluation; work readiness; assistive technology assessment; training; coaching; job placement; and job retention. In 2012, wells fargo awarded courage center $25,000 for technology upgrades in the vocational services program, which went toward upgrading computer training equipment and software. In 2013 45 new clients were placed in new jobs or served by supported employment. Ten clients were placed as full-time employees and 35 as part-time employees. For the 35 clients working part-time, the averag starting pay was $10.33 an hour; for those working full-time it was $ 12.03. Clients' salaries ranged from $ 7.25 to $ 20 an hour. The current hourly minimum wage in minnesota is $ 7.25.courage center's independent living skills (ils) program strengthens clients' skills in managing their own affairs, including day-to-day life in the community, on-the-job and with family and friends. Clients experience a range of disabilities, including cognitive limitations and mental illness. An ils specialist meets clients in their homes or other locations to provide education, training and support until all goals are met. These specialists are knowledgeable about a variety of community resources and are experts at teaching clients how to advocate for themselves. Services available through ils include health management, household management and organization, meal planning, grocery shopping and cooking, memory compensation strategies, problem solving assistance, safety and self defense, time management, transportation resources, and funding. Outcome data supports that for each year clients are in the independent living skills program, their participation in community activity increases, they move toward affordable, accessible, supported housing, and report improved quality of life. Adult rehabilitative mental health services (armhs) is a rehabilitative program for persons who have a mental health diagnosis along with their brain injury or other physical disability and could benefit from services to regain skills related to independent living, involvement in the community or managing their mental health. Armhs services also can be very helpful in keeping skills that have been regained. An armhs specialist meets clients in their homes and/or other locations to provide skills training and support until all goals are met. The time spent with the specialist varies from client to client, and typically decreases as personal goals are achieved. Drivers assessment and training provides assessments for clients with disabilities or concerns related to aging or illness. Assessments include vision, reaction time, memory, problem solving, body strength and coordination, and cognitive skills. Drivers training offers personalized behind-the-wheel instruction; adapted vehicles are available for instruction.\n\nSports and recreation: courage center is a nationally recognized center for adapted sports and recreation with programs in the twin cities and duluth.

In august 2012, todd anderson field was dedicated in brooklyn park, minn. It is the first softball field of its kind in minnesota, fully accessible for competitive wheelchair softball competition. Philanthropic support for building the field came from the minnesota twins, pepsi, the city of brooklyn park and otto bock, among others. At courage center duluth, a $15,000 grant from the northland foundation went toward providing after-school sports and recreation programming for students with autism. The veteran's administration and the U.S.. Olympic committee expanded its support of courage center operation liberty program for veterans with disabilities and medical conditions with a $75,000 grant.

Both organizations saw that the opportunity to share resources and plan as one collaborative entity versus two would strenghthen our programs and better serve the community long into the future. At the end of 2012, courage center and courage foundation transferred property, staff and donor designated funds to the resulting new organization, initially called \"camps of courage and friendship\". As courage center made the decision to transfer the operation during 2012 and courage center has no residual rights to the camp assets after contribution, it has accounted for the transaction as discontinued operations.","year":2012,"name":"COURAGE CENTER","phone":"6122620660","website":"WWW.COURAGECENTER.ORG","type":"990","principal_officer":"JAN MALCOLM","year_formation":1928,"state_legal_domicile":"MN","total_volunteers":1045,"tax_period_begin":"2012-10-01T00:00:00","tax_period_end":"2013-06-01T00:00:00","address":"PO BOX 43 MR 10890, MINNEAPOLIS, MN, 554400043, USA","city":"MINNEAPOLIS","state":"MN","country":"USA","zip_code":"554400043"},"Governance":{"501c3 determination":true,"Number of voting members":18,"Number of independent voting members":18,"Number of employees total":835,"Total Gross UBI":0,"Net unrelated business taxable income":0,"Number of employees":835,"Prohibited tax shelter transactions":false,"Taxable party notification":false,"Funds to pay premiums":false,"Premiums Paid":false,"Family or business relationship":false,"Delegation of management duties":false,"Conflict of interest policy":true,"Whistle blower policy":true,"Compensation process for CEO":true,"Compensation process for other employees":true,"Changes to organizing documents":true,"Material diversion or misuse":false,"Members or stockholders":false,"Election of board members":false,"Decisions subject to approval":false,"Minutes of governing body":true,"Local chapters":false,"Form 990 provided to governing body":true,"Document retention policy":true,"Investment in joint venture":true,"Independent audit financial statements":false,"Consolidated audit financial statements":true,"Accountant compile or review":false,"Financial statements audited by independent accountant":true,"Audit committee":true,"Federal grant audit required":false,"Audited financial statements consolidated":true,"Political activities":false,"Donor advised funds":true,"Conservation easements":false,"Collections of art":false,"School":false,"Hospital":false,"Foreign activities":false,"Foreign office":false,"Gaming":false,"Fundraising activities":true,"Professional fundraising":true,"Loan to officer or DQP":false,"Grant to related person":false,"Business relationship through family member":false,"Business relationship with organization":false,"Transfers to exempt non-charitable organization":false},"Revenues":{"value":28461841,"Contributions":{"value":6918251,"Other contributions":4877857,"Fundraising revenue":2963,"Campaigns":270651,"Grant revenue":351280,"Related organizations":1415500},"Program revenue":{"value":20621132,"Total revenue":{"value":19904061,"VARIOUS":19904061},"Total other revenue":717071,"Unrelated business revenue":0},"Investment income":{"value":660884,"Investment income total":661416,"Net investment gain":-532},"Other revenues":{"value":261574,"Other total":269506,"Net income from fundraising events":-218490,"Net income":210558}},"Expenses":{"value":31616913,"Grant expense":{"value":1966013,"Grants to domestic orgs":1962663,"Foreign grants":3350},"Total professional fundraising expense":{"value":218994,"Fundraising professional":218994},"Benefits paid to members":{"value":0},"Salaries":{"value":20743301,"Other salaries and wages":16594791,"Pension plan contributions":546956,"Other employee benefits":2100459,"Payroll taxes":1501095},"Other expenses":{"value":8688605,"Legal":584656,"Accounting":216108,"Other services":1158262,"Advertising":168490,"Office expenses":1750815,"Information technology":544736,"Occupancy":1366762,"Travel":300324,"Conferences and meetings":74056,"Interest":84640,"Depreciation and depletion":1406512,"Insurance":261749,"Itemized Expenses":{"value":675111,"VARIOUS":675111},"All other expenses":96384}},"Assets":{"value":0,"Non-interest bearing cash":0,"Savings and temp cash investments":0,"Pledges and grants receivable":0,"Accounts receivable":0,"Receivables from officers":0,"Receivables from disqual persons":0,"Other net note and loans":0,"Inventories for sale or use":0,"Prepaid expenses deferred charges":0,"Land, building, equipment":0,"Investments publicly traded":0,"Investments other":0,"Investments program related":0,"Intangible assets":0,"Other assets":0},"Liabilities":{"value":0,"Other liabilities":0},"Fund balance":{"value":0},"Form990Details":{"program_service_accomplishments":[{"description":"PHYSICAL, OCCUPATIONAL, AND SPEECH THERAPY SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE IN FOUR METRO AREA LOCATIONS - GOLDEN VALLEY, BURNSVILLE, STILLWATER AND FOREST LAKE - AS WELL AS NUMEROUS COMMUNITY-BASED SITES. IN JUNE 2012, COURAGE CENTER GOLDEN VALLEY PARTNERED WITH SEVERAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO OFFER REHABILITATION THERAPY AT HERITAGE PARK SENIOR SERVICES CENTER IN NORTH MINNEAPOLIS. THE CENTER IS A FULLY ACCESSIBLE SENIOR HEALTH AND WELLNESS CENTER ADJACENT TO THE 102 UNIT HERITAGE COMMONS AT POND'S EDGE SENIOR DEVELOPMENT. THE CENTER HOUSES A HEALTH CLINIC, ADULT DAYCARE PROGRAM, FITNESS PROGRAMS, A THERAPY POOL AS WELL AS PROVIDES OFFICE AND PROGRAM SPACE FOR VARIOUS SOCIAL SERVICES PROVIDERS. PARTNERS INCLUDE MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY, NEIGHBORHOOD HEALTHSOURCE INC., YMCA OF METROPOLITAN MINNEAPOLIS, AUGUSTANA CARE CORPORATION, COURAGE CENTER AND THE MINNEAPOLIS HIGHRISE REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL. PHYSICIAN SERVICES:COURAGE CENTER'S PHYSICIANS' CLINIC, STAFFED BY COURAGE CENTER PHYSICIAN ASSOCIATES, IS LED BY COURAGE CENTER MEDICAL DIRECTOR BONNIE WARHOL, M.D., A SPECIALIST IN PHYSICAL MEDICINE AND REHABILITATION. IN 2012, THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES (CMS) AWARDED COURAGE CENTER ONE OF THE FIRST NATIONWIDE HEALTH CARE INNOVATION AWARDS. THE THREE-YEAR $1.8 MILLION GRANT WILL ALLOW COURAGE CENTER TO FURTHER DEVELOP ITS PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOME MODEL FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND COMPLEX MEDICAL CONDITIONS. THE AWARD BUILDS ON A SUCCESSFUL PILOT PROGRAM, LAUNCHED IN 2009, THAT CURRENTLY SERVES MORE THAN 220 PEOPLE IN THE GREATER TWIN CITIES. COURAGE CENTER'S CARE MODEL IS MORE THAN A PLACE; IT'S A PHILOSOPHY OF CARE. WHERE MOST HEALTH CARE HOMES SEEK TO ADD SOCIAL SERVICES AND SUPPORTS TO AN EXISTING PRIMARY CARE CLINIC, COURAGE CENTER HAS ADDED DISABILITY-COMPETENT PRIMARY CARE TO A ROBUST PACKAGE OF EXISTING SUPPORTS INCLUDING MENTAL HEALTH, REHABILITATION THERAPIES, HEALTH AND WELLNESS SERVICES, AND OTHER COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES. THIS TYPE OF MEDICAL HOME IS THE ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND IN MINNESOTA. PARTICIPANTS IN THE PILOT PROGRAM HAVE AN AVERAGE OF EIGHT CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS AND, PRIOR TO ENROLLMENT IN THE MEDICAL HOME, SPENT NEARLY 11 DAYS A YEAR IN THE HOSPITAL. AFTER JOINING COURAGE CENTER'S MEDICAL HOME PARTICIPANTS REDUCED THEIR TIME SPENT IN THE HOSPITAL BY 70 PERCENT, A REDUCTION AMOUNTING TO YEARLY SAVINGS OF OVER $3.43 MILLION FOR THE 220 CURRENT MEMBERS. COURAGE CENTER HOPES TO SERVE AS A MODEL OF CARE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND COMPLEX MEDICAL NEEDS ACROSS THE NATION. ALSO, IN 2012, COURAGE CENTER WAS DESIGNATED AS A MEDICAL SPINE CENTER BY HEALTHPARTNERS. COURAGE CENTER ST. CROIX: LOCATED IN STILLWATER, CCSC IS A STATE-OF-THE-ART ADULT AND PEDIATRIC REHABILITATION CENTER. STILLWATER-AREA CLIENTS, FROM BOTH MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN, RECEIVE PHYSICAL, OCCUPATIONAL AND/OR SPEECH THERAPY; WARM WATER POOL THERAPY; AND CAN PARTICIPATE IN AN ACCESSIBLE FITNESS AND WELLNESS CENTER. IN SEPTEMBER 2012, COURAGE CENTER ST. CROIX MOVED THERAPY SERVICES FOR CLIENTS AGE BIRTH TO 8 YEARS OLD TO THE NEW EARLY CHILDHOOD FAMILY CENTER (ECFC), JUST NORTH OF STILLWATER JUNIOR HIGH. IN ADDITION TO COURAGE CENTER THERAPY SERVICES, THE NEW CENTER HOUSES STILLWATER EARLY CHILDHOOD SPECIAL EDUCATION, EARLY CHILDHOOD FAMILY EDUCATION, NORTHEAST METRO DISTRICT 916 AND A VARIETY OF OTHER EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING. THE NEW LOCATION ALLOWS COURAGE CENTER ST. CROIX TO ENHANCE AND GROW AT BOTH LOCATIONS TO BETTER SERVE CLIENTS AND FAMILIES. IT ALSO FACILITATES BETTER INTEGRATION OF MEDICAL SERVICES PROVIDED BY COURAGE CENTER AND EDUCATIONAL SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN STAFF MEMBERS ENABLES SEAMLESS COLLABORATION AND CONTINUITY OF CARE, IMPROVING SERVICES FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL CLIENT. THE CENTER IS MORE CONVENIENT FOR CLIENTS AND FAMILIES BY REDUCING TRAVEL TIME AND SCHEDULING ISSUES. AS PART OF THE NEW FACILITY, CLIENTS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO A LARGE SHARED GYM AND PLAYGROUND AREAS.
