Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapy Services are available in four metro area locations - Golden Valley, Burnsville, Stillwater and Forest Lake - as well as numerous community-based sites. In June 2012, Courage Center Golden Valley partnered with several community organizations to offer rehabilitation therapy at Heritage Park Senior Services Center in North Minneapolis. The center is a fully accessible senior health and wellness center adjacent to the 102-unit Heritage Commons at Pond's Edge senior development. The Center houses a health clinic, adult daycare program, fitness programs, a therapy pool as well as provides office and program space for various social services providers. Partners include Minneapolis Public Housing Authority, Neighborhood HealthSource Inc., YMCA of Metropolitan Minneapolis, Augustana Care Corporation, Courage Center and the Minneapolis Highrise Representative Council. Physician Services:Courage Center's Physicians' Clinic, staffed by Courage Center Physician Associates, is led by Courage Center medical director Bonnie Warhol, M.D., a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation. In 2012, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) awarded Courage Center one of the first nationwide Health Care Innovation Awards. The three-year $1.8 million grant will allow Courage Center to further develop its patient-centered medical home model for people with disabilities and complex medical conditions. The award builds on a successful pilot program, launched in 2009, that currently serves more than 200 people in the greater Twin Cities. Courage Center's care model is more than a place; it's a philosophy of care. Where most health care homes seek to add social services and supports to an existing primary care clinic, Courage Center has added disability-competent primary care to a robust package of existing supports including mental health, rehabilitation therapies, health and wellness services, and other community-based services. This type of medical home is the only one of its kind in Minnesota. Participants in the pilot program have an average of eight chronic health conditions and, prior to enrolment in the medical home, spent nearly 11 days a year in the hospital. After joining Courage Center's medical home participants reduced their time spent in the hospital by 80 percent, a reduction amounting to yearly savings of over $3.25 million for the 200 current members. Courage Center hopes to serve as a model of care for people with disabilities and complex medical needs across the nation. Also, in 2012, Courage Center was designated as a Medical Spine Center by HealthPartners. Courage Center St. Croix: Located in Stillwater, CCSC is a state-of-the-art adult and pediatric rehabilitation center. Stillwater-area clients, from both Minnesota and Wisconsin, receive physical, occupational and/or speech therapy; warm water pool therapy; and can participate in an accessible fitness and wellness center. In September 2012, Courage Center St. Croix moved therapy services for clients age birth to 8 years old to the new Early Childhood Family Center (ECFC), just north of Stillwater Junior High. In addition to Courage Center therapy services, the new center houses Stillwater Early Childhood Special Education, Early Childhood Family Education, Northeast Metro District 916 and a variety of other educational programming. The new location allows Courage Center St. Croix to enhance and grow at both locations to better serve clients and families. It also facilitates better integration of medical services provided by Courage Center and educational services provided by the school district. Communication between staff members enables seamless collaboration and continuity of care, improving services for each individual client. The center is more convenient for clients and families by reducing travel time and scheduling issues. As part of the new facility, clients will have access to a large shared gym and playground areas. Health, Wellness and Recreation: Courage Center Golden Valley is a site for the Dana and Christopher Reeve Foundation's NeuroRecovery Network's (NRN) intensive fitness program. Courage Center's Activity Based Locomotor Exercise (ABLE) program for people with paralysis includes participation in a national, longitudinal study at multiple sites tracking the progress of participating clients as they gain greater strength and mobility through intensive fitness activities. For some, the program holds the possibility of increased mobility based on the phenomenon of neuroplasticity, with healthy cells and nerves expanding and compensating for damaged cells. Philanthropic support for the ABLE program was provided by Deli Express with a $50,000 given for scholarships for people to participate in the program. Courage Center's Chronic Pain Rehabilitation Program remains the only inpatient program of its type and enjoys a deserved reputation for effectiveness in the region. The comprehensive three-week multidisciplinary program is for people who in spite of undergoing standard medical treatment, continue to remain disabled with chronic pain. The primary purposes of the program are to increase function and decrease use of the medical system. In 2011 outcome statistics for the program clients reported significantly increased function in home activities; of those who entered the program on opioids, 73 percent decreased or discontinued these medications. In addition, 99 percent of clients rated the program as excellent or good and 92 percent of referring physicians who saw their patient said the referral was worthwhile. The Community Reintegration Program is a medically prescribed outpatient service assisting adults with mild to moderate brain injury to learn the necessary skills for independence, safety and employment. Mental health and behavior services offer clients and families counseling, behavior management skills training, psychiatric services, and neuropsychological assessment.

Courage Center's Transitional Rehabilitation Program(TRP), licensed as a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF), provides comprehensive inpatient rehabilitative services to assist people with disabilities and/or people recovering from illness, injury or surgery in gaining greater independence. The TRP serves as a "bridge" - a transitional setting between acute care and a client returning to a home or community living setting. The TRP serves clients with spinal cord injuries, brain injuries and stroke, as well as people with congenital disabilities. TRP is a personalized, holistic inpatient rehabilitation program. We use our facility as a temporary residence for those who need significant rehabilitation. It provides a welcoming, healing environment that uses the latest technology, adaptive equipment and complementary medicine to help clients reach a level where they are able to move on to community living. The average age of Courage Center's TRP residents is approximately 48. We had 213 clients in the program in 2012.

Vocational Services: Employment is a serious issue for people with disabilities. In 2011, 11.6% of working age adults had a disability. At that time, the employment rate of working-age people with disabilities was 17.7%. In comparison, the employment rate of working age people without disabilities was 63%. Vocational Services assists people in developing career plans based on their unique abilities, interests and limitations. Our vocational experts assist in developing an individual vocational plan and identifying any assistive technologies needed for success in school or the workplace. We provide training to develop office- and job-related skills, and to help build self-esteem. We also offer employment services to help with finding and keeping a job. Programming includes vocational evaluation; work readiness; assistive technology assessment; training; coaching; job placement; and job retention. In 2012, Wells Fargo awarded Courage Center $25,000 for technology upgrades in the Vocational Services program, which went toward upgrading computer training equipment and software. In 2011, 48 new clients were placed in new jobs or served by supported employment. Thirteen clients were placed as full-time employees and 35 as part-time employees. For the 35 clients working part-time, the average starting pay rate was $11.31 an hour; for those working full-time it was $16.81. Clients' salaries ranged from $7.25 to $65 an hour. The current hourly minimum wage in Minnesota is $7.25. Courage Center's Independent Living Skills (ILS) program strengthens clients' skills in managing their own affairs, including day-to-day life in the community, on-the-job and with family and friends. Clients experience a range of disabilities, including cognitive limitations and mental illness. An ILS specialist meets clients in their homes or other locations to provide education, training and support until all goals are met. These specialists are knowledgeable about a variety of community resources and are experts at teaching clients how to advocate for themselves. Services available through ILS include health management, household management and organization, meal planning, grocery shopping and cooking, memory compensation strategies, problem solving assistance, safety and self defense, time management, transportation resources, and funding. Outcome data supports that for each year clients are in the Independent Living Skills Program, their participation in community activity increases, they move toward affordable, accessible, supported housing, and report improved quality of life. Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services (ARMHS) is a rehabilitative program for persons who have a mental health diagnosis along with their brain injury or other physical disability and could benefit from services to regain skills related to independent living, involvement in the community or managing their mental health. ARMHS services also can be very helpful in keeping skills that have been regained. An ARMHS specialist meets clients in their homes and/or other locations to provide skills training and support until all goals are met. The time spent with the specialist varies from client to client, and typically decreases as personal goals are achieved. Drivers Assessment and Training provides assessments for clients with disabilities or concerns related to aging or illness. Assessments include vision, reaction time, memory, problem solving, body strength and coordination, and cognitive skills. Drivers training offers personalized behind-the-wheel instruction; adapted vehicles are available for instruction.

Courage Center is a nationally recognized center for adapted sports and recreation with programs in the Twin Cities and Duluth. Many of our wheelchair sports teams are national champions and many of our athletes and coaches are nationally and internationally recognized. Sports activities are available for just about everyone regardless of age or ability, including skiing, golfing, biking, archery, kayaking or horseback riding, as well as competitive team sports such as basketball, softball and power soccer. In August 2012, Todd Anderson Field was dedicated in Brooklyn Park, Minn. It is the first softball field of its kind in Minnesota, fully accessible for competitive wheelchair softball competition. Philanthropic support for building the field came from The Minnesota Twins, Pepsi, the City of Brooklyn Park and Otto Bock, among others. At Courage Center Duluth, a $15,000 grant from the Northland Foundation went toward providing after-school sports and recreation programming for students with autism. The Veteran's Administration and the U.S. Olympic Committee expanded its support of Courage Center Operation Liberty program for veterans with disabilities and medical conditions with a $75,000 grant. Operation Liberty offers free sports and recreation programming to veterans.

During the year ended September 30, 2012, Courage Center's Board of Directors made a decision to contribute the camp operations to a mission-oriented organization and began discussions in that regard with Children's Disability Service Association/Friendship Ventures. In November 2012, Courage Center reached agreement with Friendship, and its affiliate Friendship Foundation, to transfer the camp assets (consisting primarily of real estate, equipment, and unspent and pledged camp contributions) net of camp liabilities of Courage Center and Courage Foundation, Inc.

F990_P01_S00_L08 Form 990, Part I, Line 8 Courage Center has a robust fundraising effort to engage the community in supporting our mission. We employ a number of fundraising methods including individual, corporate and foundation solicitation as well as direct mail. We also employ fundraising methods such as Cars for Courage, Clothing for Courage and special events which are higher cost methods of raising money. We believe these are effective ways to reach out to the broadest community to educate and involve the greatest number of people in our mission.
F990_P01_S00_L16b Form 990, Part I, Line 16b Courage Center's vehicle donation program's cost to raise a dollar is over 30%. Without this program, Courage Center's cost to raise a dollar would drop overall by 6 percentage points. We continue to operate the vehicle donation program because the net is over $1 million and it gives the community a chance to donate to Courage Center who would otherwise not.
F990_P03_S00_L01 Form 990, Part III, Line 1 Courage Center is a Minnesota-based rehabilitation and resource center that advances the lives of children and adults experiencing barriers to health and independence. At Courage Center, we specialize in treating brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, chronic pain, autism, and disabilities experienced since birth. We use a holistic approach that includes inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient rehabilitation, physician services, community-based services, and aquatics, wellness and fitness programs. Our inpatient Transitional Rehabilitation Program (TRP) offers clients intensive, short-term rehabilitation after brain injury, stroke and spinal cord injury. We also have a three-week inpatient chronic pain rehabilitation program. Our physicians' clinic specializes in clients with complex health conditions and disabilities; it is structured to reflect the health care home model showcased in recent federal health care reform efforts. At Courage Center research is ongoing to determine outcomes and best practice. Courage Center has an earned reputation as a leading advocacy organization for people with disabilities regionally and nationally. Courage Center has Minnesota locations in Burnsville, Forest Lake, Golden Valley and Stillwater, as well as many community-based services and partner organizations; and a sports and recreation program in Duluth. Founded in 1928, Courage Center is a nonprofit organization offering advanced technologies and innovation provided in part through the efforts of thousands of volunteers and donors. Courage Center is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), and is a United Way agency. Courage Center meets all 16 accountability standards set forth by the Minnesota Charities Review Council indicating a commitment to accountable ethical practices.
F990_P03_S00_L03 Form 990, Part III, Line 3 In 2012 Courage Center merged its camping programs with those of Friendship Ventures, another leading provider of accessible camping, respite and travel for people with disabilities in our service area. Both organizations saw that the opportunity to share resources and plan as one collaborative entity versus two would strengthen our programs and better serve the community long into the future. At the end of 2012, Courage Center and Courage Foundation transferred property, staff, and donor designated funds to the resulting new organization, initially called "Camps of Courage and Friendship". As Courage Center made the decision to transfer the operation during 2012 and Courage Center has no residual rights to the camp assets after contribution, it has accounted for the transaction as discontinued operations.
F990_P06_S0B_L11b Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Form 990, including all schedules and attachments, was reviewed at the Finance Committee meeting on April 25, 2013. All Board members received a final copy of Form 990 including all schedules and attachments, prior to filing with the IRS. Courage Center's Interim Chief Financial Officer presented a high level overview of the form at the Board Meeting on May 22, 2013 and the Board approved the 990 for filing.
F990_P06_S0B_L12c Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Courage Center has a conflict of interest policy covering all board members, officers, directors and key employees. Courage Center requires board members, officers, and key employees to review and sign a conflict of interest disclosure questionnaire at least annually. This process is overseen by the Legal Compliance Committee of the Board. The committee reports regularly to the board. If a conflict arises, the officer, board member or key employee involved is required to recuse themselves from the specific conflict issue, including deliberations and decision making. An officer or board member would be removed from the board if conflicts rise to the level of rendering the officer or director ineffective. All employees receive and are expected to follow a code of conduct which provides guidance on avoiding and resolving potential conflicts of interest. Courage Center maintains a 24 hour anonymous Compliance hotline to collect and respond to ethical and legal concerns of staff and customers.
F990_P06_S0B_L15 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 The Executive Committee of the Courage Center Board of Directors is responsible for the organization's executive compensation and benefit program. Courage Center uses a process for determining compensation for the CEO, COO, CFO, Chief Development Officer, Medical Director, Senior Director of Finance, VP of HR and Neuro-Psychologist which includes the following: use of data from market surveys to comparable compensation for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions at similarly situated organizations, consultation with an independent compensation consultant as needed or directed, and review and approval by the executive committee of the Board of Directors. Annually the following process is used to determine salary adjustments: formal review of the organizations past year's performance related to goals and outcomes over the previous fiscal year is completed with the executive committee and the CEO, and salary increases are determined based on the organization's ability to pay, performance in job, budgeted merit increases and/or a market adjustment.
F990_P06_S0C_L19 Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Courage Center provides copies of Form 990 and related schedules and attachments, audited financial statements, conflict of interest policy and IRS determination letter upon request. Courage Center's tax exemption application was filed in 1949 and no copy is available.
