Spinal Cord Injury Family Training

Shepherd Center launched the RESCUE program, a community service program providing home alert labels and education for people with physical and/or cognitive limitations who find themselves in emergency situations.

The goal is to aide in quicker response times and the creation of better emergency plans. Turn to RESCUE for guidance in communication your needs to your own first responders.
