Connect-In is a new SCI Program Initiative supported by our SCI Model System Grant.

All persons with a new traumatic SCI in the MetroHealth acute care hospital will have the opportunity to connect with a Peer Navigator.

Peer Navigators are persons living in the community with a SCI. The Navigators will be an important link to SCI information, community resources, information about SCI health care and health insurance.

It is our hope that this program will provide the links, information and skills patients with a new injuries need to successfully adapt and connect with their communities so that they can lead a fullfilling life.

If you think you would like to be a Peer Navigator please contact Megan or Amber. Their contact information is listed below.
