Thanks to generous support from Byram Healthcare, United Spinal will distribute New Beginning Backpacks to over 100 hospital partners. They are filled with tools and resources to help people overcome the unique challenges of living with a new spinal cord injury or disorder.
“Often, the New Beginning Backpack program serves as a tool that individuals may overlook until they find themselves in need. It may quietly occupy a corner of their room until the transition home occurs and they are inundated with inquiries, unsure of where to seek answers,” says Matt Castelluccio, United Spinal’s VP of Community Support.
“In these moments, the NBB program offers guidance and support, serving as a valuable resource during a critical time of adjustment and uncertainty.”
The contents include information on the following:
- Peer Mentoring
- Connecting Scientists & the SCI Community
- Help, Hope Live brochure
- Understanding a Neurogenic Bladder
- Sexuality Following SCI
- Caregiving information
- Dietary suggestions
- My Wheelchair Checklist
- Byram Healthcare offerings
- A sample of Enemeez Plus
- An issue of United Spinal’s membership publication, New Mobility Magazine
“The United Spinal Association has provided our patients with the initial connection to the spinal cord injury community. The educational information is an excellent resource to our patients, their families, and our interdisciplinary healthcare team,” says Devon Snow, an occupational therapist at Brooks Rehab.
