Resources
At Casa Colina Hospital and Centers for Healthcare, we understand that diagnosis of a traumatic injury or illness can be overwhelming and confusing for patients and families.
To help our patients navigate their recoveries, we have compiled the following list of useful resources regarding spinal cord injury:
