Key information can providepatients, parents and their children with a better understanding of thesigns and symptoms of scoliosis, and where to get help. This in turn canhelp the healthcare system to be more effective and less costly. Community and grassroots events, such as health seminars and support groups, encourage the sharing of personal stories and connect patients so that no family affected by scoliosis goes through the experience alone. More importantly, through this program we strive to reach our ultimate goal to find the cause, prevention and cure of this spinal deformity, which burdens children, adults, families, and society at large.
