In the Fall Issue of Spinal Column, Shepherd Programs that Support Returning to School, Work, and Life
The new issue of Shepherd Center's quarterly magazine is now available for download as a PDF file here. Subscribers to the print version will receive copies via postal mail in the coming days.
In this issue of Spinal Column, we explore the many ways our therapists, academic coordinators, and vocational rehabilitation counselors smooth the transition back to school, work, or “adulting” — teaching patients to advocate for themselves and let their schools and employers know what accommodations they may or may not need.
The magazine also features these stories, among other patient profiles, staff highlights, honorariums, and memorials:
