Heartland Rehab Employee Awarded JDRF Grant

Through this program, employees who volunteer may apply for cash grants of $500 to support the non-profit organizations they assist.  An employee committee nominated by company leaders reviews the grant applications and makes its recommendations to the HCR ManorCare Gives' board of directors for final selection.

JDRF is the leading global organization funding promising, life-changing research to find a cure for T1D. It’s the goal of JDRF to progressively remove the impact of the disease from people’s lives until we achieve a world without T1D.
