Wilson Research Foundation

The Wilson Research Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, was established to improve the lives of the physically disabled by funding rehabilitation research at Methodist Rehabilitation Center. Established in 1989 with a generous gift from the H.F. McCarty Jr. Family Foundation, the Wilson Research Foundation honors the late Earl R. Wilson, and his wife Martha Lyles Wilson’s service to physically disabled Mississippians.

Earl Wilson was the founding chairman of Methodist Rehabilitation Center and he and other founders were passionate about the need for the center to be supported by a strong philanthropic foundation that would help us connect state-of-the-art research to state-of-the-art patient care.  The Wilson Research Foundation delivers on this vision, restoring ability and restoring hope for our patients, helping make Methodist Rehab Center a premiere regional center for neurological recovery, and one of the finest centers in the nation.   

Inaugural Walk & Roll held on May 15, 2010!
