The Brooks Health Foundation provided a major gift in 1999 to create this endowment which supplies key funding for activities in the University of Florida Brooks Center for Rehabilitation Studies, which is associated with Brooks Health System and the Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital in Jacksonville, FL. This fund supports research on the rehabilitation of neurogenic, musculoskeletal, and/or other types of disabling physical conditions; such research shall be done, when possible, on Brooks patients or in collaboration with Brooks staff.
