United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

UBPN would like to direct your attention to our newly posted Medical Resource Listing. It can be reached from the home page of this website.

Description:
This directory has been compiled through the efforts of UBPN's In Touch Program, coordinated by Kathleen Kennedy and members of her team (Nancy Birk, Mara Liska, Sharon Gavagan, and Bridget McGinn).

Goal:
The goal of this project is to provide a comprehensive resource listing to aid families and individuals in their search for specialized care. UBPN invisions that in the ongoing compilation of this directory that it will be broadening the scope to include licensed holistic practitioners and therapists.UBPN believes in supporting families in their search for full and accurate information and resources to assist them in making completely informed medical decisions.

Methodology:
A questionnaire was sent to all known BPI specialists/clinics who were requested to respond. Their responses follow. Responses are still being submitted and changes will be made as they are received. Many of the doctors also included bibliographical references to their published research. A second phase of this directory will be to provide a bibliography of those citations.
To suggest someone not on this list, please inform Kathleen (kathleen@ubpn.org) so that she may send them the questionnaire.

Thank You,
UBPN Board of Directors

Thank you Bridget and Staff....

and I am not the Kathleen at ubpn...LOL...

Kath

Thanks Kathleen. I have to point out, though, that UBPN has no staff! We are all volunteers, no one gets paid a cent. Someday, maybe, we will have grown to the point where we can pay someone to direct the organization (as in Executive Director). That day will be one celebrated by all Board Members and volunteers!!

Small technical glitch, to reach the newly updated homepage with the link to the medical resource listing you will need to retype the "ubpn.org" address. The "Home" link above takes you to the old page. Sorry, we are working on fixing this.

Bridget

Sorry for the use of the word staff.... LOL...

Even though I belong to many volunteer organizations... we still refer to our selves as staff.... when working on projects.... LOL... I guess it makes us feel like we are still working.... but still no paychecks either...LOL....LOL....

Kath

Thank you very much for the new section!! I am taking my son to Dr. Adelson from Pittsburgh and I am glad to know more about him and his methods. Currently we see R. Goitz Orthopaedics and he has referred us to his colleague for further surgery.
