The goal was to build a new type of rehabilitative hospital and in the process provide an example of how to create a patient-centered environment for people of all abilities while also using the best practices in “green design”.

Veterans who lost limbs in Iraq and Afghanistan traveled to Boston to provide information and moral support to those seriously injured in the bombings
