NeuroHope

What NeuroHope does

NeuroHope is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit outpatient physical rehabilitation clinic and wellness center serving people living with and recovering from paralysis in Indianapolis, Indiana. Founded in 2013 by Chris Leeuw — a recovered C4/C5 quadriplegic — and beginning patient operations in 2015 in partnership with the University of Indianapolis Krannert School of Physical Therapy, the organization delivers a three-tier continuum of care: (1) individualized physical, occupational, and speech therapy with licensed clinicians, (2) one-on-one guided adaptive exercise with Neuro Exercise Specialists, and (3) a $50-per-month Path to Independence wellness membership (gym access, daily group NeuroFit/MultiFit/Recovery classes, FES cycling). The clinic accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and most major commercial insurance, with self-pay priced at $75 per 60-minute session and $100 initial evaluations — substantially below the $300–$400 hourly rates of traditional facilities — once insurance-covered visits are exhausted. NeuroHope's underlying technology stack includes Lokomat robotic gait training, Hydroworx therapy pools with underwater treadmills, transcutaneous spinal stimulation (ARC-EX by ONWARD Medical, Vectra Genysis by Chattanooga Rehab), 24-channel neuromuscular electrical stimulation, Power Plate whole-body vibration, BITS balance training, MindPod neuroanimation, dry needling, and functional electrical stimulation cycling. Following its 2024 relocation to the 100,000-square-foot DRIVEN NeuroRecovery Center in Carmel through a partnership with Conquer Paralysis Now (Sam Schmidt), NeuroHope operates as the newest affiliate of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation NeuroRecovery Network. Revenue derives from insurance reimbursement, self-pay sessions, monthly wellness memberships, grants (OrthoIndy Foundation, State of Indiana, Impact 100, Indiana CTSI, United Way), and charitable donations/events (notably the annual Swing Fore Hope golf scramble).
