Spinal Cord Injury
This center can help Veterans with a spinal cord injury or disorder (SCI/D) and their families. When someone has an SCI/D, they often wonder what life will be like. Will they be able to hold a job, make and keep friends, have a family, or do other things that make life meaningful? Things that seemed easy before the injury may now seem hard.

Spirituality
Veterans often look for a sense of meaning and purpose. This center offers ideas and actions that give strength, courage, and hope.
