Provider Update
Our Provider Network is about providing a highly skilled, reputable service to the SCI community. That service continues to grow because our Provider centers are being built and opened by those that want and need them most, the clients and their families. Each new Provider offers another option to the SCI community. If you learn of someone trying to open a Provider location in your area, please join them. If a center opens, it benefits not one person, but a community.
If you are interested in opening a Provider center, please contact us at:info@projectwalk.org.

 Jun & his clients from J-Workout at the Steps to Recovery Event |
We are very excited that our Provider network continues to grow and we will continue to announce our newest Provider centers and the trainers/therapists going through our Certification process. Our goal is that no matter where someone lives, they will be able to take part in this program and method without leaving their community. Project Walk will help others open centers and we will teach/train professionals further making our method more accessible to a greater population. 2008 was a positive changing year for Project Walk, and we look forward to an even greater, more productive, 2009.
Happy Holidays from all of us at Project Walk!
