SCI Team Leaders Train at Spaulding

Two of the leaders and key staff at HEI/SBH’s Spinal Cord Injury rehabilitation program in Fond des Blancs are in Boston this week to train with the team at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. Spaulding is the #4 rehabilitation hospital in the United States, and is leading the way in innovative rehab techniques and technologies.
