White Plains, NY (October 14, 2026): <a href="https://www.burke.org/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Burke Rehabilitation</a>&reg;, a leading provider of advanced physical and medical rehabilitation and member of the Montefiore Health System, today announced a series of strategic advancements to enhance its nationally recognized neurological rehabilitation care. Together, these advancements will improve patient outcomes and quality of life, while allowing more individuals recovering from brain injury, stroke, spinal cord injury, and other complex neurological conditions to benefit from the specialized, evidence-based, and personalized rehabilitation care offered at Burke. 
According to a <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaneurology/fullarticle/2841765" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">2025 study</a>, more than half of the people in the United States&mdash;over 180 million individuals&mdash;live with at least one neurologic disease or disorder. To meet this increasing demand, Burke has made purposeful strides to expand its services and programs to treat more patients with complex neurological needs, including: 
&nbsp;- providing medical and rehabilitation care for individuals with severe acquired brain injury who demonstrate emerging signs of consciousness, known as <a href="https://www.burke.org/medical-services/neurological-rehabilitation/disorders-of-consciousness/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Disorders of Consciousness (DoC)</a>, such as minimally conscious state (MCS) where definite but sometimes inconsistent signs of awareness are present due to severe acquired, degenerative, or developmental brain damage.
&nbsp;- expanding physical and medical rehabilitation research and innovation efforts including a first-of-its-kind clinical research project examining obstructive sleep apnea among inpatient rehabilitation patients with acquired brain disorders, supported by <a href="https://www.burke.org/about/news-media/2026/burke-rehabilitation-awarded-75000-to-support-research-on-obstru/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">$75,000 in grant funding</a>. 
- opening a <a href="https://www.burke.org/about/news-media/2026/burke-rehabilitation-opens-new-ct-scanner-suite/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">state-of-the-art, on-site CT scanner suite</a> to diagnose and treat illnesses and injuries more quickly, supporting a more seamless care experience for patients whose conditions may require timely imaging, including those suspected of experiencing complications such as a second stroke or brain bleed. 
&ldquo;At Burke, our mission to provide the highest quality medical care and rehabilitation services drives us to lead through innovation,&rdquo; said Scott Edelman, MBA, CPA, CFE, Executive Director of Burke Rehabilitation. &ldquo;As a leading provider of advanced rehabilitation medicine, we are continually translating advances across the industry into post-acute care that delivers meaningful outcomes&mdash;helping patients regain function, restore independence, and return to the community.&rdquo;
These programs will further enhance the robust neurological care delivered at Burke. In 2025, Burke neurorehabilitation inpatients had a lower self-reported 30-day readmission rate (4.98%) than the nation (7.20%), and mobility and self-care gains outpaced national averages. Burke also cares for the most stroke patients in New York.
&ldquo;Achieving excellence in neurological rehabilitation requires a connected model that combines specialized clinical care, timely diagnostics, rigorous research, education and collaboration across disciplines,&rdquo; said Dr. Erika Trovato, Associate Chief Medical Officer, Chief Quality Officer at Burke Rehabilitation. &ldquo;We are making purposeful investments across Burke so that more patients with complex neurological conditions can receive the specialized, individualized care they need to achieve their personal care goals.&rdquo;
Education, research, and innovation are also at the core of the neurorehabilitation strategy at Burke. Burke offers a one-year Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited Brain Injury Medicine Fellowship for two Board Eligible/Board Certified physiatrists and/or neurologists committed to subspecialty training in Brain Injury Medicine, training future leaders in the field. Burke also participates in scientifically rigorous, clinically integrated studies targeting meaningful functional outcomes and real-world solutions for medically complex patients, including those recovering from neurological conditions. 
Together, these efforts position Burke to continue building a comprehensive model of neurological rehabilitation excellence&mdash;one that brings expertise, innovation, and patient-centered care closer together and leverages the &ldquo;whole person&rdquo; approach that improves patient outcomes and quality of life following discharge back to community.

WCA Unveils New Edition of Westchester&rsquo;s Real Estate Policy Playbook to Shape Smart Growth and Development 
An AI-powered web-based platform will drive coordinated development across the region
WHITE PLAINS, NY (October 1, 2026) &ndash; <a href="https://www.westchester.org/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">The Westchester County Association (WCA)</a> today published its Real Estate Policy Playbook designed to help local leaders, planners, and stakeholders navigate the policies shaping responsible economic growth and development across Westchester County. Now in its fourth edition, the WCA's Playbook has been completely updated and now includes a brand-new section on critical infrastructure. This expanded real estate development guide is accompanied by a new on-line version enhanced with AI-searchability to keep pace with growing use by leaders across the region.
&ldquo;Westchester&rsquo;s future requires a shared, practical framework for managing growth that is accessible to every community and every stakeholder that has a role in the development process,&rdquo; said Michael N. Romita, President &amp; CEO of Westchester County Association. &ldquo;This Playbook translates complex policy considerations into actionable guidance, helping leaders make decisions that can expand opportunity, support housing and infrastructure needs, and preserve the qualities that make Westchester an exceptional place to live and work.&rdquo;
The Real Estate Policy Playbook is created and circulated in collaboration between leading voices across the region&rsquo;s real estate community, including engineers, architects, land planners, developers, attorneys, brokers, municipal policy experts, and local officials. The latest edition includes a chapter on essential infrastructure to meet the current and future needs of Westchester County, building on previous editions focused on comprehensive planning, housing, energy efficiency and sustainability.
&ldquo;This fourth edition of the Real Estate Policy Playbook is a collaborative effort that addresses a major barrier to development in our region: ensuring adequate horizontal and sub-service infrastructure to support vertical growth,&rdquo; said William V. Cuddy Jr., Executive Vice President at CBRE and Chairperson of the WCA Real Estate Task Force. &ldquo;By presenting practical solutions to address essential infrastructure challenges, we are promoting smart, sustainable growth that will support a stronger future for our region.&rdquo;
Due to increased demand from leaders across the region's real estate community who rely on the Playbook's resources, the new edition is now available in an online version with AI-functionality. This new resource enables leaders to access Playbook guidance by asking questions in everyday language, and aims to support more efficient planning, clearer decision-making, and economically viable, sustainable development throughout the region. Users can browse the Playbook, search by keyword or meaning, and receive cited answers that link directly to source material.
The Playbook is just one element of the WCA&rsquo;s efforts to promote smart growth across Westchester and beyond. This year&rsquo;s edition comes on the heels of WCA&rsquo;s leadership to enact generational reforms to the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) passed earlier this year, and part of the WCA&rsquo;s ongoing advocacy to advance responsible development and create a stronger economy. This work is guided by the WCA&rsquo;s Real Estate Committee, which convenes the region&rsquo;s leading developers, planners, government representatives, and other real estate professionals.

Among the largest donations ever to a free-standing rehabilitation hospital, the gift will propel Burke as a leader in the future of rehabilitation medicine 

White Plains, NY (September 16, 2026) &ndash; <a href="https://www.burke.org/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Burke Rehabilitation</a>&reg;, a leading provider of advanced physical and medical rehabilitation and member of the Montefiore Health System, announced today the acceptance of a historic $20 million challenge pledge from Bill Ackman and Neri Oxman. This gift, one of the largest philanthropic donations given to a free-standing rehabilitation hospital in recent years, will allow Burke to profoundly expand its world-class rehabilitation care for patients recovering from stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, neurological illness, and other life-altering illnesses, injuries, and chronic conditions. 
The Ackman/Oxman Challenge will serve as a cornerstone investment to launch the organization&rsquo;s &ldquo;Unlock Possible&rdquo; capital campaign. This ambitious, multi-year effort will enable Burke to transform its facilities, expand access to cutting-edge rehabilitation technology, and pioneer innovation to advance the field of rehabilitative medicine. The campaign will support comprehensive investments across patient care, research, clinical programming, technology, and the healing environment itself, ensuring Burke remains a leader in rehabilitation medicine for generations to come.
&ldquo;I know firsthand how world-class rehabilitation following a life-altering event has the power to change lives,&rdquo; said Pershing Square Foundation Co-Trustee Bill Ackman. &ldquo;I believe deeply in the Burke mission and in the immense power of intensive rehabilitation to restore hope, dignity, independence, and quality of life. My daughter Lucy&rsquo;s experience navigating traumatic brain injury reinforced just how critical expert rehabilitation care can be. Burke not only helps patients recover physically; it gives families confidence, optimism, and a path forward during incredibly difficult moments. Supporting the advancement and expansion of this work is both deeply personal and profoundly important.&rdquo;
This gift is the first step of an ongoing relationship between the Ackman/Oxman Family and Burke Rehabilitation aimed at propelling rehabilitative care into the future. The challenge pledge will match dollar-for-dollar philanthropic commitments raised by Burke, up to $20 million, to advance rehabilitation technology, transform patient care environments, expand clinical programs, and ensure more patients have access to intensive rehabilitation across the continuum of care when they need it most.
&ldquo;This is far more than an investment in an organization; it is an investment in hope, recovery, resilience, and the life changing impact of rehabilitative medicine,&rdquo; said Scott Edelman, Executive Director of Burke Rehabilitation. &ldquo;This extraordinary commitment reflects a belief in the critical work Burke performs every day on behalf of the thousands of patients and families we serve each year. As the demand for highly specialized rehabilitation continues to grow, this gift will allow Burke to continue advancing the future of rehabilitation medicine while helping patients regain independence, restore dignity, and rebuild their lives.&rdquo;
Burke leadership hopes the challenge pledge will inspire broad philanthropic support from grateful patients and families, foundations, corporations, and community leaders who believe in the Burke mission and the future of rehabilitation medicine.
