Shepherd Center - A Catastrophic Care Hospital

Below is a list of studies that Shepherd Center has conducted in the past.

These studies may or may not have benefited our patients, but they have added to our understanding of Spinal Cord Injuries. Through these lessons we are learning to improve the quality of life of our patients.
