Six individuals with SCI benefit from NorCal SCI’s March 27 Virtual Consultations

We completed our 3rd SCI Virtual Consultations, launched since the start of the pandemic, on Sat., March 27th which allowed six individuals with spinal cord injuries and some of their loved ones to address particular medical or physical challenges they were experiencing with our four highly-experienced clinical professionals. The six individuals were from different areas of Northern California, including Winton and Crockett, and we were thrilled to provide them with the opportunity to engage with our experienced team.

The goal of this program is to support individuals who do not have reasonable access to SCI medical professionals due to their location in Northern California. We are grateful to our volunteer consultation team of Nurse Practitioner Rebecca Hummel-Moore, Occupational Therapist Carole Adler-Hughes, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Shelley Wood, and Physical Therapist Erin Hallett who have unique and lengthy experiences in spinal cord injury medicine.

When we get feedback like “what a wonderful service this is” or “this is great, thank you so much”, we know the need for access to experienced SCI clinical professionals is great and we are committed to offering this service again in the coming months.
