Can you believe it is 2012? My daughter turns 15, my other two are 13 and 10 this year. Time is flying. Changes at UBPN have occurred. We have several new BOD members, new officers and new responsibilities.
Kim West has stepped down (officially) from the VP position after more than 10 years! She has promised to help out when needed as have many of our past BOD members. Lisa Muscarella stepped down as well, but not until she saw her vision of SpotlightOn complete. If you haven't seen these video's concerning prevention of the OBPI -you need to check it out. More than 4 million people have viewed the PBS version of the video. Now that was an amazing awareness effort! Judy Thornberry left us in good shape with the very successful medical alert program.
Joining us was Karan Allrich, who has successfully put together the first two UBPN fun runs, Anise Braggs who has co-coordinated the UBPN Camp "find your way" and is preparing for the next camp "Alternative me". Kara Rutherford and Dan Aldrich came to their first BOD meeting this year, and contributed greatly to our BOD decions. Anise and Dan also volunteered to be our new co-VP's of UBPN.
The Next Outreach is being reviewed. Kim handed out that responsibility to one of our community members, Jennifer Patankar. It is looking great!!

The new video production of Newborn Birth Injuries: The Untold Story is now airing on PBS stations. All PBS stations use the Spotlight On piece as filler for free programming times so we are unable to give you an exact time to view on television. However, you can view the piece that is airing on PBS by clicking here.
UBPN was also fortunate to be able to produce a 25-minute companion documentary, which can be viewed below. You can also purchase the full 25-minute documentary on DVD by clicking here.
Welcome to the United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc. web site. We are excited about increasing the resources we provide to our community of injured and their families, as well as bring greater awareness to the general public and medical community about brachial plexus injuries.
If you are the parent of a newly injured child or are newly injured yourself, please know that although you are at the beginning of a trying and challenging journey, it is not hopeless.
You will find a great deal of information on this site to give you a better understanding of a brachial plexus injury. In addition, you will find amazing support on our forums.
