The Foundation for PM&R is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring health, improving function, minimizing pain and enhancing the quality of life for individuals with disability through research and education in the field of PM&R.  The Foundation for PM&R envisions a health care system in the United States where function is a valued measure of health, physiatric care is fully integrated into the continuum of care, and there is full access to cost-effective evidence-based rehabilitative care.  Our values include:
•	Research is key to advancing the medical specialty of PM&R.
•	Patient-centered practice is essential.
•	The ability to function and quality of life are key outcome measures in the management of illness, injury or disease.
•	Interdisciplinary research is required to achieve the best possible outcomes for individuals with disability.
•	Investment in young investigators that fosters their pursuit of a career in research and provides them with the tools to succeed, enhances the research capacity of the field of PM&R.
•	Increasing physiatric research capacity in medical schools and teaching hospitals improves PM&R research capacity.
•	The specialty of PM&R is strongest when the overarching interests of those who focus on inpatient medical rehabilitation and those who concentrate on outpatient and/or musculoskeletal care converge and are seen as parts of a whole.
•	All practitioners and stakeholders have a responsibility to fund the Foundation for PM&R, because the Foundation supports the future of PM&R...both for practitioners and for the patients we serve.
