United Spinal Association

The United Spinal Association Northeast Ohio Chapter has moved their meetings to a virtual platform until further notice in the wake of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). The meetings will still occur on the 3rd Monday of each month, starting at 7 pm. Announcements for these meeting will be posted on our Facebook page (see bottom of page) and through our email distribution. If you would like to sign up for our email list, please visit unitedspinal.org and select the Cleveland/Chesterland/Northeast Ohio chapter to be affiliated with.

We are working with SCI Researchers through MetroHealth Medical Center and Case Western Reserve University to get emergency supplies together to our members, so now would be a great time to add your name to our email list.

If you are unaware of our chapter, we provide education and recreation opportunities for life after a spinal cord injury. We oftentimes have tickets to PlayHouse Square, Cavs Games, and Blossom events that are free to members.

We also have a handcycle loan program where you can take and try out a handcycle at your leisure for 30 days at a time. If you would like to be involved, please sign up for our email list! 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.

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