Holy Cross Health recently celebrated the blessing and unveiling of the Jon & Helaine Ayers Rehabilitation Center with a special dedication ceremony and ribbon cutting.

Previously known as the Outpatient Rehabilitation Center, Holy Cross Health completely renovated the facility and significantly invested in state-of-the-art physical rehabilitation equipment, thanks to a generous $2 million gift from Jon and Helaine Ayers.

As part of this capital project, Holy Cross Health introduced eight new pieces of equipment. Holy Cross is the only facility in Broward County with many of these unique therapies that help patients regain and improve their mobility and balance.

“Jon and Helaine’s support has helped shape the future of Holy Cross Health in lasting and meaningful ways,” said Pierre Monice, MBA, FACHE, President and CEO of Holy Cross Health. “Jon and Helaine believe in our mission and in the people we serve. This new space represents the very best of what healthcare can be – compassionate, innovative and focused on the whole person.”

The Center provides expert care in physical, occupational and speech therapy for patients recovering from strokes, brain and spinal cord injuries or are living with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and more. The care model is rooted in a one-on-one, team-based approach that addresses not only the physical side of recovery, but also the emotional and cognitive journey each patient experiences.
