Spina Bifida Resource

The Mission of the Spina Bifida Resource is: To educate women about the prevention spina bifida and to enhance the lives of all affected. The Spina Bifida Resource offers a wide variety of services and programs since our mission is two-fold. We offer educational programs about spina bifida and its prevention, and speakers to schools, business and community groups. We provide much more for individuals born with spina bifida, their families, caregivers and the professionals that work with them. Besides a monthly family newsletter, one of our more unique programs is an equipment and supply closet. This enables us to assist families during emergencies, or help them just sample new or different products and equipment. We also provide hand-controlled tri-cycles to our kids to help them play outside with their peers. Please call our office if you would like a full list of current Programs and Services.

After meeting as a Spina Bifida Support Group for several years, in 1978, a group of parents from Lancaster County decided it was time to incorporate. Slowly with community support, we have grown into an agency serving both families and adults with spina bifida across the state. We have been recognized nationally for our newsletter, website and programs.
