Do you have poor access to SCI clinical expertise? Sign up for our free Aug. 14 virtual SCI consultation by July 31

There are many communities in Northern California that those with a spinal cord injury live in who find access to qualified and experienced clinicians with expertise in SCI a near impossible task. It is precisely why NorCal SCI began offering free mobile clinics starting in 2018 and have now transitioned into a virtual SCI consultation day offering free 30-minute appointments with a team of OT, PT, Dietitian and Nurse Practitioner available to provide their expertise to help you troubleshoot medical and non-medical issues you may be experiencing due to your injury. Our next session takes place on Sat., Aug. 14th from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. but you must sign up for one of the available slots by Sat., July 31st HERE.

The Nurse Practitioner, Rebecca Hummel-Moore, specializes in spasticity and is knowledgeable in skin care and bowel and bladder care while the OT, Carole Adler Hughes, and PT, Erin Hallett, have between them many decades of experience treating individuals specifically with SCI/D. The Registered Dietitian, Shelley Wood, works directly with those with SCI on an outpatient basis. All four are Advisory Board Members of NorCal SCI.

The consultation involves a 30-minute Zoom session with the team and any recommendations will be communicated electronically after the appointment.  Consultations will be scheduled between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. and will last approximately 30 minutes. We will expect the participants to be able to use Zoom and be able to control the device and camera or have a caregiver or family member present to assist with using the device and camera. This is important as this will allow our team to view such things as type of wheelchair used, seating position and assess range of motion and other requirements they would use to assess each individual.
