United Spinal Association

The United Spinal Association Northeast Ohio Chapter has had a fabulous year. From meeting topics ranging from Metabolic Syndrome, ramps and lifts available to modify your home, and bowel, bladder and sexual function research, each month is a new topic all about spinal cord injury and disorders. We would like to thank some vendors that have sponsored our meetings, including Hollister, UTI Medical, MC Mobility, and many others. Your generosity keeps our chapter meetings going and supports our mission for educating those in our community.

We also have sponsored outings, such as two Indian’s Games, tickets to the Keybank Broadway Series at Playhouse Square, two events at Blossom – watching the Cleveland Orchestra preform, and numerous games to watch the Cavs. By fundraising and writing grants, we are able to provide these tickets to members free of charge. If you would like to get involved to help this service continue, please get ahold of current Chapter President, Megan Hammond at her email address: [email protected].

Speaking of getting involved, we are looking for more members to add to our Board of Directors. We are looking for those with spinal cord injuries/disorders, community members, doctors, therapists, caregivers, or anyone else that has an interest in serving this community. Members of the board help plan the meetings, outings, and fundraisers. If you are interested, or would like more information, again, please get ahold of current Chapter President, Megan Hammond at her email address: [email protected].

We are looking forward to another great year in 2019! Hope you see you at one of our meetings or outings!
