American Spinal Injury Association

The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) is a multi-disciplinary organization of healthcare professionals devoted to the care of individuals who have sustained a spinal cord injury (SCI). Its mission is to promote standards of excellence in aspects of healthcare; to educate other healthcare professionals, patients and their families, and the public on all aspects of spinal cord injury and its consequences; and maximize the injured individual’s potential for full participation in all areas of community life. The association is also dedicated to fostering research that aims at preventing spinal cord injury, improving care, reducing consequent disability, and finding a cure for both acute and chronic SCI.
