Help Support the National Scoliosis Awareness Month Campaign

In preparing to publicize June as National Scoliosis Awareness Month, SRS will be sending requests to all US governors asking them to proclaim June as National Scoliosis Awareness Month. SRS would like to invite all scoliosis patients, family members and advocates to support SRS’s request for proclamations by sending in their own letters of support. Let your voice be heard in your state and take action to support those with spinal deformities.
