Like a fingerprint, each spinal cord injury (SCI) and the corresponding needs of both the individual and family are unique. The HeadNorth Foundation is dedicated to providing comprehensive personalized assistance to SCI survivors and their families in the greater San Diego area. And we do it with integrity, compassion and respect.

It is our aim to become a nationally recognized, primary source of guidance and resources to survivors of spinal cord injuries. Our ever-expanding web site and network of trained professionals and resources are focused on meeting the transitional needs of SCI survivors, from recovery to rehabilitation to reintegration into an active lifestyle. To that end, we have developed programs that address the specific needs of those impacted by SCI and its subsequent transitions.

Spinal cord injuries are generally sudden and unexpected. In an instant, lives are forever changed. We are inspired by the many individuals who are changing what it means to live with a spinal cord injury and are redefining what is possible.

Thank you for your support, Eric A. Northbrook, Founder
