The goal of this site: link people with the information they need, when they need it. Brain and spinal cord injuries are complex injuries. They can require specialized services from many different types of professionals, from neurologists, to life care planners, to social workers. Neure offers a directory of the various professionals involved in neurotrauma care, along with useful, user friendly information about brain and spinal cord injury.
Why have a site like this?
Preliminary Findings from the Centers for Disease Control and Injury Prevention www.cdc.gov have shown that 1 in 3 people with a reported disability received no services after discharge from the hospital. This website is one effort to bridge that gap.
There is no other site like this online
There is a need to link people who need services with professionals who offer them.
