Happy Birthday American Spinal Injury Association! February 13, 2018 marks the 45th year of ASIA.

During the 1960s, physicians and other medical professionals engaged in the treatment of spinal cord injury sought to align themselves as a group, in an effort to exchange ideas and work together toward the establishment of a model for care delivery to this patient population. It was out of this group the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) was created in 1973.  » Read more about: Happy Birthday ASIA!  »

The Membership Committee is constantly looking for new ways to support ASIA and our members.  Based on member feedback, we have created two new Clinic/Institutional Membership levels. The former Clinic/Institutional membership is now called “Platinum” with added benefits.  There is also a new lower Clinic/Institutional membership package.  The “Gold” membership offers nearly the same perks as the “Platinum” but with a lower price. Click here to read more about ASIA’s Clinic/Institutional memberships.
