“It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience,” said Julius Caesar. No kidding. Chronic, everlasting pain is deadening. The Santa Barbara Physical Rehabilitation Clinic helps improve the quality of life of handicapped children and adults who live here and who are from low income families. The clinic has three areas of treatment:
- Rehabilitation – for those who have been involved in an accident at work, at home, in sport or a in motor vehicle.
- Pediatric – for children needing either physical or language therapy to help with problems from cerebral palsy and delays in psychomotor development.
- Neurological – care is given to people suffering from a stroke, spinal chord lesions, Guillain-Barré syndrome or Parkinson’s disease.
IFC has, for many years, been providing Santa Barbara with financial help for the daily costs of staff and supplies and to purchase needed medical equipment.
