Madonna established the Chairman's GOAL Awards in 1994 to honor patients for their outstanding courage and determination as they completed their rehabilitation, returned to their communities and gave back to others. The GOAL Award honorees represent the more than 5,000 patients Madonna serves annually.

This year, the GOAL Awards program featured several cutting-edge devices and rehabilitation research. Research and technology in rehabilitation are essential to helping people with disabilities fully achieve the highest level of independence.
