WISE helps impaired women in spinal injury support
Sharon Schaumburg survived a suicide attempt due to chronic spinal arthritis and found recovery through WISE, a Maryland Virginia DC network founded by Mary Lou Bernard. The group offers social contact and information via telephone and a monthly newsletter for about 103 women, many unable to travel. Delores Greene, another member, describes early miscommunication in care and the group as a vital support system for adapting to life after spinal injury.
