United Spinal acquires AbleThrive to amplify support for the disability community

United Spinal Association announced last week that it has acquired AbleThrive, a site that has sourced articles and videos from its partner network of more than 250 organizations, bloggers, hospitals and companies and organized over 1,500 articles on its website by category and level of mobility. Since it was founded in 2014, AbleThrive’s mission has been to leverage technology to connect people with SCI/D and their families to disability-specific support resources that were readily accessible online, but difficult to find and navigate.

In the coming months, the two organizations will combine their life-enhancing resources, information, and technology onto United Spinal's website, creating an extensive online support network for wheelchair users and other individuals with mobility disabilities.

"We saw great potential in curating and organizing relevant content on our website so that people didn't have to spend hours scouring the internet on their own," said Brittany Déjean, Founder and CEO of AbleThrive. "I'm proud of what we have achieved over the last seven years with the support of our team and community, and as AbleThrive becomes a part of United Spinal's robust resources and services, I'm excited to see how everything we built can have an even greater impact," added Déjean.
