Dear Friend:

Every day, Jefferson Rehabilitation Center makes a positive difference in our communities thanks to the hundreds of exceptional people we serve, our caring staff of over 625 employees, and our valued members who directly impact our influence at the state and national levels.

Governor Cuomo has made reference several times recently to providing better care for less.  Here at the Jefferson Rehabilitation Center we have always been a fiscally conservative agency and are one of the lowest reimbursed  providers in New York State, while at the same time having a record of quality, both at the State and National level.   We are continually faced with cutbacks from both the State and Federal levels, challenging our ability to provide quality services.

We need your help, and together we can face this challenge through the voice of many. 

How can you help?  By becoming a member of the Jefferson Rehabilitation Center or renewing your previous membership.

For only $5 you can join the Jefferson Rehabilitation Center, a Chapter of NYSARC, Inc. and the 87,000 members throughout the State of New York to become a voice for the children and adults who need or will need services. 

These times are challenging and ever changing.  Having a strong network of committed members can, and will, make a difference.  Help us reach our goal of 1000 members, which guarantees us increased representation on the Board of Governors of NYSARC, Inc.  This same Board votes on policies that impact JRC and the people we serve directly.

Please support the JRC Membership Appeal by becoming a member, renewing your current membership or making a donation to support our programs. Just fill out the application in the Membership section above and mail it by May 20, 2012.  If you would like more information about JRC, know someone interested in becoming a member,  or would be interested in having us speak at an event or meeting, please send an email to jrc@jeffrehabcenter.org or phone (315) 836-1260.

On behalf of JRC and the JRC Board of Directors, we thank you for your support.

Sincerely,
