Patients at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center come from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds. The support of the Rancho Los Amigos Foundation allows these patients to receive treatments and programs that are unfunded by insurance or are otherwise outside of the financial means of the patient or outside of traditional Los Angeles County funding practices. Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center was established in 1888 when indigent patients from the LA County Hospital were relocated to what was then known as the LA County Poor Farm. Physical and occupational therapy services began in the late 1920's, and Rancho rapidly expanded and received designation as a respiratory center for polio patients in 1951. The Rancho Los Amigos Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization established in 1983, with a mission to raise funds for programs, services,and equipment for Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center’s patients and their families. Programs currently funded by the Foundation include adaptive Outdoor Adventure, Pediatric and Adult Wheelchair Sports Programs, The Brain Injury Fashion Show, Spinal Injury Games, Roll Around the Ranch, Performing Art of Rancho, Adult and Pediatric Art Programs, Various Support Groups, and a variety of other patient-serving programs.
