• $20M pledged to Burke Rehabilitation (westfaironline.com) — Burke Rehabilitation in White Plains has received a $20 million challenge pledge from philanthropists Bill Ackman and Neri Oxman, which could double to $40 million if matched by other donors. The funding will build an endowment to expand rehabilitation technology, upgrade patient care environments, and broaden access to intensive rehab services, potentially strengthening care options for local residents recovering from serious injuries or illness.
