A thought for Thanksgiving…
For some time now, you may have noticed a small announcement on the right side of the SpineConnect community page when you arrived to post or review cases about OneSpine. OneSpine is an organization dedicated to improving spinal health in the developing world. Their goal is to provide access to spine care for a greater amount of people as well as facilitate connections between donors and patients. OneSpine connects patients suffering from spinal pathology with a network of donors who commit money towards specific spine surgeries until the funds necessary are gathered. OneSpine then releases the funds to an accredited surgeon and patients are treated.
As we begin to enter the holiday season, and our thoughts go out to our families, our colleagues and ourfriends near and far, please take a moment to acquaint yourself with OneSpine and the kind of work they do. At the moment, they are calling for donations for a scoliosis patient in the Philippines. If you or anyone you know, even your clinic, is interested in giving to Onespine, click here. Connect. Participate. Collaborate. Co-create. If you can. And spread the word about the work they do, they work you do and how we all wish for better health and the relief of suffering.
Wishing you and your loved ones all the best for this holiday weekend and giving thanks for all the work you do!
