| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Description of other program services | (Expenses $ 5,327,328 including grants of $ 0)(Revenue $ 388,333) SRAlab's Henry B. Betts LIFE Center is a virtual and multimedia education center providing patient education and consumer health information for patients, families, staff and the community. Everything in the collection relates in some way to people living with a wide range of cognitive and physical impairments, chronic conditions or diseases affecting function. The website enables individuals across the globe to have access to current, peer-reviewed patient education and consumer health resources with real-time updates, printing on demand and a dashboard to save favorite resources for easy access. Resources such as the LIFE Center help individuals and their families navigate the intricacies of health care and minimize the complexity of relevant health information. Having access to information empowers people to partner with their health care team in order to make the best choices for themselves, their families and engage in life-long learning. The Center's resources are organized according to eight topic areas: Medical Information and Care, Caregiving and Equipment, Housing and Transportation, Education and Employment, Support and Wellness, Recreation and Leisure, Finance and Law and Inspiration and Hope. LIFE web traffic in FY 2020 averaged 21,040 page views per month with 252,475 page views annually from more than 187 countries. This past year, the highest international web activity occurred in the United Kingdom, Canada, India, Philippines, Malaysia and South Africa. In FY 2020, total outreach and service efforts represented 6,925 person contacts served which includes programs, classes, special events, resource requests, teaching activities and tours for patients, families, staff and the community. Sports and Fitness Program: The SRAlab Adaptive Sports and Fitness Program provides wellness opportunities to people with physical disabilities through sports and recreation as well as a full-service accessible health club. All services offered in the adaptive sports program, which marked its 39th year in FY 2020, are free of charge. The fitness program, which celebrated its 24rd anniversary, provides access to a health club that operates from 6:15 am to 7 pm five days per week for a nominal annual fee. The sports and fitness program is funded primarily by grants and generous community donations and is operated by eleven full time equivalent staff. Additionally, volunteers logged nearly 3500 hours in FY 2020. The Shirley Ryan Adaptive Sports and Fitness Program is considered a national leader in health promotion for people with disabilities. In FY 2020, six months into the year the sports program halted all activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to shutting down the sports program had recorded over 3000 visits by its 300+ registered participants, and the fitness program recorded a six month record high with 16,431 visits by its 400 registered participants in addition to 2,900 class visits. A separate program for youth, the Caring for Kids program, recorded 355 visits by 120 Chicago area children with disabilities. Vocational Rehabilitation Program: Beginning a career or returning to work following an illness or injury is important to a patient's financial security and emotional well-being. It can contribute to the achievement of a productive, independent and fulfilling life. For more than 50 years, the SRAlab has been providing comprehensive vocational rehabilitation services tailored to meet the needs of each client. Services include initial assessment, diagnostic evaluation, work trial assessments, job analysis, return-to-work evaluations, job placement, resume writing, job interview workshops and internship coordination. The SRAlab covers the cost of initial assessments, which are not covered by most third-party payers. Patients receive vocational services at nine SRAlab facilities or via telehealth, ensuring that employment assistance is closely tied to community reintegration. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the program has seen a decrease in referrals, along with additional challenges with job placement and retention activities, as many employers were forced to lay-off or eliminate positions. During FY 2020 the program served 872 clients. In the last year, we placed 81 individuals in jobs. We continue to provide no cost GED program for patients with spinal cord injuries to our list of services. Assistive Technology Programs: The Technology Center and the Wheelchair & Seating Center, comprise SRAlab's Assistive Technology Programs. In FY 2020, the Assistive Technology Programs served approximately 1,900 unique patients. The SRAlab Technology Center provides computer access training, augmentative communication devices and electronic aids to daily living, including recommendations for home automation and modifications, for people with different abilities. Occupational therapists and speech language pathologists evaluate and recommend equipment for each individual's needs. Through a lending library, patients can try items before purchasing them or borrow them for short-term use due to changing needs. Staff members speak to universities, schools, organizations for people with disabilities, senior centers and the general public. The center provides 1 to 2 home visits if the client can no longer come to SRALab following their evaluation. We have also integrated the use of telehealth appointments over the past year. Staff recommend applying for SRALab charity funds if Patient'ss insurance is maxed out. The Technology Center saw 540 Inpatients, 220 Day Rehab clients, and 370 outpatients in the past fiscal year. Rehabilitation Engineering staff collaborate with allied health clinicians to provide consultation, evaluation, and design of individual solutions to aid persons with different abilities to complete activities of daily living with increased independence at home, work, and in the community. The team fabricates custom equipment and modifies commercially available equipment and objects to create unique, individualized solutions to help patients navigate obstacles encountered in daily life. SRAlab provides free care for services and products, and provides real-life design experience to students through Northwestern University's engineering design program. The Wheelchair & Seating Center staff evaluate and make recommendations for complex wheelchairs and customized seating systems for patients with significant mobility and postural needs. This includes manual wheelchairs; powered wheelchairs; custom-made and customized seat and back cushions to relieve pressure, prevent pressure sores, and maintain posture; alternative drive controls like sip and puff and head array systems; that help clients maintain or increase their mobility and independence, at home, work, or in the community. During FY20 the Wheelchair & Seating Center integrated the use of telehealth appointments to continue to serve some of our patients during the global pandemic. We served a total of 1085 patients including 460 inpatients, 30 DayRehab clients, and 610 outpatients. We also participated in a hospital-wide quality improvement project to improve the turnaround time from initial evaluation to delivery of the definitive custom wheelchair. |

| Form 990 Coronavirus Pandemic | Coronavirus Pandemic-The Novel Corona Virus 2019 ("COVID19") pandemic has materially impacted the operations of the Corporation, and has impacted the business and financial condition of the Corporation. On March 18, 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services formally recommended that health care providers delay all elective surgeries and nonessential medical, surgical, and dental procedures during the pandemic. Governor Pritzker's Executive Order no. 202019 then required a cancellation of all elective surgeries and nonemergency care through May 11, 2020. Beginning May 11, 2020, the Illinois Department of Public Health ("IDPH") provided updated guidelines that hospitals and Ambulatory Surgical Treatment Centers may begin to perform elective procedures. The Corporation followed IDPH guidelines and began the process of performing elective services when the Executive Order was eased. Management continues to monitor developments with respect to the COVID19 pandemic and intends to continue to follow requirements from the Centers for Disease Control and other applicable federal, state and local regulatory agencies. The unprecedented disruptions to the Corporation's daily operations has caused a significant decline in revenues. While the Corporation has been provided some relief based on payments made to hospitals as a result of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act, the payments received through August 31, 2020 of $5,700,000 ("provider relief funds"), recorded as grant revenue within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets, are not sufficient to cover all of its revenue losses and increased expenditures. The additional expenditures are the result of the additional equipment and supplies to treat COVID19 patients. The Corporation also received advanced payments from Medicare of $14,644,000 in April 2020, which have been recorded as a current liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The advanced payments are to be recouped beginning 120 days after receipt, with the expectation that all advances would be fully recouped as of August 31, 2021. The recoupment terms changed subsequent to the Balance Sheet date, as discussed further in Note 22. The CARES Act also provided a business relief provision known as the employee retention credit, a refundable payroll tax credit for qualified wages paid to retained employees. The Corporation has recorded $2,419,000 on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets as a reduction to salaries, wages, and employee benefits for the year ended August 31, 2020. |
