Books and Boutiques was an event put on by Saint Luke's Foundation to raise funds for the new Saint Luke’s Rehabilitation Institute. This event raised a record amount to help create a space for families recover and heal. Kansas City will be a destination for state-of-the-art rehabilitation treatment and technology on par with the nation’s best facilities.

This visionary facility, located on the Saint Luke’s South Hospital campus, will help more than 1,200 patients reclaim function and independence each year. It will offer multidisciplinary, personalized treatment and leading-edge neurorobotic equipment unique to the region, plus the latest clinical trials for technologies and therapies.

When it opens its doors mid-2019, the Rehabilitation Institute will help patients and their families recover from stroke, brain and spinal injuries, trauma, and other debilitating conditions requiring inpatient rehabilitation.
