A life changed because of you
Philanthropic partners of MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital (2022 and 2023)
These individuals, often motivated by the compassion of a dedicated care team or inspired by the work of an innovative researcher, have chosen to make a gift in support of our vision at MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital.
We proudly recognize these philanthropic partners who, through their support, help ensure that world-class rehabilitative health care continues to flourish in our community.
Victory Society
We’ve named each level within the Victory Society to correspond to the letters in the word “ABLE”—which means having the capability to perform.
We believe it is a fitting representation of the true meaning of MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital. Rehabilitation is focused on helping people re-learn the skills of day-to-day life after a disabling injury or illness—it makes them “able” to live fully and independently.
Victory Society 2022 and 2023
All contributions–small or large–combine to become a powerful force for change.

Renoir Society
“The pain ends, but the beauty endures.” -Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Pierre-Auguste Renoir, the gifted French Impressionist painter, struggled with the disabling effects of Rheumatoid Arthritis. He persevered, however, and from his wheelchair he created assistive devices that enabled him to continue creating the art that we still enjoy today.
The Renoir Society recognizes philanthropic partners who have included MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital in their estate planning.
