Rehab Medical Named New Hope of Indiana's 2026 Partner of the Year

Recognizing Rehab Medical’s commitment to improving lives through community investment, volunteer service, and support for individuals with disabilities  

Rehab Medical, one of the nation’s leading providers of complex rehab technology (CRT), has been named New Hope of Indiana’s 2026 Partner of the Year, recognizing the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting individuals with disabilities and strengthening the communities where its employees live and work. 

The award was presented during New Hope of Indiana's annual Silver Cup Celebration, held August 12 in Indianapolis. Rehab Medical was represented at the event by Amanda Andis, Vice President of Revenue Cycle Management, and members of her team, who accepted the award on behalf of the organization. 

New Hope of Indiana is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live meaningful, independent lives through residential services, employment support, behavioral services, community programs, and advocacy. Since 1978, the organization has served thousands of individuals and families across Central Indiana through compassionate, person-centered care. 

The Partner of the Year Award recognizes organizations that demonstrate exceptional commitment to New Hope's mission through financial support, volunteer engagement, and meaningful partnership. 

"Since our first introduction in 2024, Rehab Medical's support has never been limited to one event, one sponsorship, or one moment of generosity," said Allison Wharry, CEO of New Hope of Indiana. "Their team members have volunteered in our homes, completed beautification projects, and invested their time and energy in the individuals we serve. They come ready to serve, but also ready to listen, learn, and be changed by the people they meet. New Hope is stronger because of partners like Rehab Medical." 

Since 2024, Rehab Medical has contributed $16,750 to support New Hope of Indiana's mission and has mobilized 83 employee volunteers across its Revenue Cycle, Human Resources, and Purchasing teams. Employee volunteers have participated in residential beautification projects, organizational improvement initiatives, camp support activities, and other service opportunities designed to enhance the lives of individuals with disabilities and the environments where they live and thrive. 

Since first partnering with New Hope in 2024, Rehab Medical has steadily expanded its support. The company contributed $3,000 in 2024, $7,750 in 2025, and $6,000 in 2026, while employee volunteer participation grew from 13 volunteers in 2024 to 45 volunteers in 2025 and 25 volunteers in the first six months of 2026.  

"This recognition is incredibly meaningful because it reflects the heart of who we are as an organization," said Kevin Gearhart, President of Rehab Medical. "Our mission is to improve lives, and we believe that responsibility extends beyond the mobility solutions we provide every day. By investing our time, resources, and talents into organizations like New Hope of Indiana, we can help build stronger, more inclusive communities.”  

New Hope specifically recognized Rehab Medical's consistent engagement, noting that the company's employees have contributed not only financial support but also hands-on volunteer service, bringing "energy, care and respect" to the individuals and communities they support. The organization cited the leadership and dedication of several Rehab Medical team members, including CEO Patrick McGinley, Jessi Harris, employee engagement manager, and Amanda Andis, as examples of the company's people-first culture and commitment to service.  

The recognition reinforces Rehab Medical's broader commitment to community involvement. Through strategic charitable partnerships and its employee-focused community engagement initiatives, the company encourages team members to support charitable causes. Rehab Medical's Volunteer Time Off program pays employees to volunteer, making a difference in their local communities. 

As the company continues to grow nationwide, Rehab Medical remains committed to fostering a culture where employees can make an impact both at work and beyond it. Individuals interested in joining an organization that values compassion, service, and purpose are encouraged to explore current career opportunities, including openings at the company's Indianapolis corporate headquarters.
