On September 11, 2026, starting at 10:45 am, Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital and Jefferson Moss Rehab Institute for Brain Health (which treats veterans, national guard and first-responders with Traumatic Brain Injury) will host members of the Cherry Hill Fire Department, Cherry Hill Police Department, and members of the Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFJROTC) at Cherry Hill High School West for a 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb.
Participants will be climbing 1067 steps, which is the amount of first responders that were killed on 9/11, as well as the ones that have since passed away from 9/11 related illness. The amount of steps equals approximately 60 flights, so participants plan on going from the 1st to the 6th floor of the hospital building, resulting in going up 5 times and down 5 times.
