Advocacy & Public Policy
June is Scoliosis Awareness Month
Help us to establish a Scoliosis Awareness event in every state in the US!
- Do you or one of your patients have a relationship with a local politician at the Federal, State, or local level?
- Does your hospital or institution have a Public Relations or Government Affairs Office?
If the answer to one of these questions is "yes," please consider holding a Scoliosis Awareness event in your state. Please contact the Scoliosis Research Society for more info on how to set up a scoliosis awareness event in your state.
