About Fondazione Don Gnocchi

The Don Gnocchi Foundation is a leader in rehabilitation. Recognized as an IRCCS - Institute for Care and Scientific Research - it has over 3700 beds in Italy. Advances in technology and robotics have enabled rehabilitative medicine to implement new and more effective treatment systems. Today, innovative technologies in the Foundation's Centers allow for increased treatment intensity, offer increasingly stimulating and motivating scenarios for patients, enable the creation of personalized care protocols, and objective measurement of responses, thereby improving the outcome of each rehabilitation project. We assist children and adolescents with disabilities daily, affected by complex acquired or congenital pathologies; patients of all ages requiring rehabilitative interventions in the neuromotor, cardiorespiratory, pneumological, and oncological fields; individuals with the after-effects of trauma, stroke, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, or other serious disabling conditions; non-self-sufficient elderly individuals, terminally ill cancer patients, patients with severe brain injuries, or in prolonged vegetative states. Care and assistance are supported by intense scientific research and training activities at various levels. As a Non-Governmental Organization, the Foundation promotes international cooperation initiatives in developing countries.
