September is Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month

Progressive Alternatives joins the community in recognizing Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Awareness Month this September. More than 300,000 people in the United States are living with spinal cord injuries, and every year thousands more face the life-changing effects of SCI.
Recovery after an SCI is a journey that requires strength, resilience, and specialized rehabilitation. Our team is dedicated to helping individuals maximize independence, mobility, and quality of life through tailored therapy programs.

💡 Did You Know?

The majority of SCIs are caused by falls, motor vehicle accidents, and sports injuries.
Early and consistent rehabilitation can significantly improve function, independence, and community reintegration.
Physical therapy focuses on mobility, balance, strength, and adaptive strategies to help patients regain confidence in daily life.

💙 Together for Awareness

This month, we honor the strength of those living with spinal cord injuries, their families, and the professionals who support them. At Level Eleven, we are committed to empowering every patient to reach their goals—step by step, day by day.

We wanted to invite you to our CPAN Roll a thon. We are scheduled for September 20th the event is from 2:00-6:00pm at the Oshtemo township park behind the Oshtemo fire station 7275 W Main St Kalamazoo MI 49009. Progressive Alternatives and CPAN are advertising it as a walk roll and dog walk to invite the dog walking communities in addition to the catastrophically injured and homecare companies in our area we are there to support. Thus in addition to educating the community about ongoing effects of the law changes made to auto no fault set forth in 2019 an how it continues to negatively impact our community impacting the catastrophically injured in motor vehicle accidents the most. Including how PIP benefits have affected our communities data shows that since the law changes 50% of Michigan drivers have taken a reduction on PIP benefits limiting the amount of care providers are able to provide. Which means that 50% taking the PIP deduction for saving their daily pocket book are not receiving the care that they need to fully recover. Just this week a go fund me page was posted online for a resident of Kalamazoo who is a mother of two children who was injured in a motor vehicle accident. Resulting in catastrophic injuries she blew thru her PIP coverage receiving life saving care at the emergency hospital and now her insurance company is refusing to provide the rehabilitation she needs and this is happening statewide every day. She’s cap coverage because of PIP that was designed to protect her and now the auto insurance companies caps for saving on your premium resulting in the care crisis for those who really need it and record profits for the insurance industry. We want to remain a united community seeking reasonable solutions to this care crisis. We know you have an extremely busy schedule but would love for you to join us at Oshtemo park September 20th for our CPAN sponsored walk roll a thon dog walk 2:00-6:00pm located behind the Oshtemo fire station. The fire station will be rolling out their fire truck to be presenting to the community and will be a great community event. If you would like to volunteer at our event please contact Nick at 2692906797 or Kim at 2692070091 and we would appreciate any and all support. Feel free to share this post we encourage everyone who wants to participate.
