United Spinal Members Roll on Capitol Hill

This week, more than 100 advocates from 29 states and the District of Columbia attended United Spinal Association’s first-ever hybrid virtual and in-person Roll on Capitol Hill. After canceling the event in 2020 and hosting a fully virtual event last year, leaders were delighted to see wheelchair users rolling through the halls of Congress again, completing more than 150 visits to lobby for our community. “It was so nice to reconnect with everyone and see our United Spinal family in person again after three long years,” says Alexandra Bennewith, vice president of government relations at United Spinal.
