Jerry Rhine

Commencing in 1994, Jerry Rhine suffered multiple heart attacks and strokes, resulting in severe brain damage and forcing him to discontinue his successful career in commercial real estate.   After a year of cognitive treatment at Burke Rehabilitation Hospital in White Plains, Jerry enrolled at New York University and in 2004 earned a master’s degree in social work. During this period, Jerry was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and later with B-cell non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. He is currently in stage three of the disease as a ten-year survivor, but has undergone repeated hospitalizations, surgeries, radiation, seeding, chemotherapy, cognitive therapy, physical rehabilitation, and pharmacological therapy for pain.   Jerry is a certified spiritual healer and a Recovery Support Specialist providing Peer Support for people who are experiencing the challenges he has met.
