Resources
Every month, the Minnesota spinal cord injury peer group meets. During these meetings we often discuss resources available for the community. The following web page is a repository of the products, resources, and services that we have gone over.
Below is a list of other resources that people in Minnesota with spinal cord injuries may find useful. This list is incomplete and always changing. If you know of a resource that should be added, please email [email protected].
