Membership, programs, policy and history — these four key elements shaped United Spinal into the premier nonprofit organization for the SCI/D community. We’ve devoted a section to each component and filled them with stories, posts and infographics in our attempt to cram 75 years of accomplishments and service into one issue. We hope you come away as proud as we are.
