Introduction and History

ICD-International Center for the Disabled
ICD-International Center for the Disabled, the nation’s first comprehensive rehabilitation agency, was located on East 23rd Street in New York City from 1917 to 1920.
Milbank Foundation for Rehabilitation was created as a public charity in 1995 as part of an historic affiliation between the ICD-International Center for the Disabled and the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center Network.

The Foundation’s primary mission is to realize Jeremiah Milbank’s vision of integrating people with disabilities into all aspects of American life. Its current priorities include, but are not limited to:

• consumer-focused initiatives that enable people with disabilities to lead fulfilling, independent lives
• health-related policy research, especially at state-based research organizations
• improving the quality of, and individual control over, palliative care
• identifying and inspiring emerging leaders in the disability community
