Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute was formed in June 2013 through the merger of Courage Center and Sister Kenny Rehabilitation Institute, part of Allina Health. Both organizations bring a strong history of service to people with disabilities as well as people with chronic medical conditions.
Courage Center was founded in 1928 as the Minnesota Society for Crippled Children and Adults. The organization was dedicated to meeting the changing needs of children and adults with disabilities, with an emphasis on advocacy, adaptive sports and recreation, camping, as well as rehabilitation. In 1973, the Golden Valley facility was dedicated. Locations were later opened in Stillwater, Burnsville and Forest Lake, along with a second adaptive sports location in Duluth.
Sister Kenny Rehabilitation Institute was founded in 1942 in Minneapolis by Australian nurse Sister Elizabeth Kenny. Her pioneering principles of muscle rehabilitation became the foundation of physical therapy. The Institute itself became one of the premier rehabilitation centers in the country, known for its progressive and innovative vision.
