Background Statement

Paralyzed Veterans of America was formed in 1946. Mt. States Chapter is one of 34 chapters of the Paralyzed Veterans of America, a national organization, headquartered in Washington, DC. Mt. States Chapter (MSCPVA) received its charter in 1955 and has served paralyzed veterans in our region (Colorado, Montana, Wyoming & Utah) since its inception. This is accomplished through programs which:

* Assist in identifying and securing benefits for veterans with spinal cord injury and disease.

* Provide information and opportunities for health promotion, recreation, employment, services, sports and camaraderie for spinal cord injured and diseased veterans.

* Educate society on the attitudinal, physical and legal barriers which persons with disabilities face and influence the removal of those barriers.

* Involve the public in national and local activities while providing cooperation with and seeking support from groups and individuals who believe in PVA's mission and objectives.

* Educate the public with simple and effective ways to prevent and reduce the risk of spinal cord injury.
