As many of you have seen, I have been hoping that my upcoming patient seminar would be the kick-off for a non-profit spine patients' advocacy group. Well, a lot has been happening behind the scenes and I've acquired a grant to help start such a group. Over the next few weeks, we'll be firing up a 501c3 non-profit association. I'd like to see such an agency,
1. facilitate easy access to current, accurate information for spine patients. 2. give the patient community a larger voice with the medical community, the orthopedics industry, government and regularatory agencies. I'd like your help. First.... a name. I've been considering the International Spine Patient Society. >>> If anyone has suggestions for a name, domain name, etc... I'm all ears. >>> Second, I'd like to hear ideas about what services a society may be able to provide. Mark |
International Patient Spine Society
The patients are International and we all have spines so spines are not International?(Or are they?) |
Spine Patient Society, International
Funny, this early am in a dazed state I was thinking that you could make a non-profit, then I read this! ans |
�International Patient Spine Society�.
Sounds like a 70's rock group with a heavy "back-beat". How 'bout: Worldwide Spiney Society. I know: sounds like a Marvel Comic. Oh well. International Spine Consumers. Definitely has a ghoulish quality. It's a great idea. Might the emphasis more appropriately be put on: Advocate, rather than Patient? International Spine Advocates, Inc. Worldwide Spine Advocates, Inc. |
"International Spine Consumers.
Definitely has a ghoulish quality". Great! http://adrsupport.org/groupee_common...icon_smile.gif To get external funds, use pity, e.g. Spinal Injury Victims, Intl. Cheerful Spineys, Intl. Endless possiblilities.. |
Mark,
This sounds like a great idea. I would love to help out in any way I can. The mission of this group sounds like something that could be very helpful for a lot of people. About the name: I like the International Spine Patient Society. Sorry, Alastair, I can't go for the name International Patient Spine Society. Perhaps because my spine is not patient at all. It is quite impatient! http://adrsupport.org/groupee_common...on_redface.gif ) Still standin |
I am grossly unimaginative at the moment~ altho I very much like and agree with the name "International Spine Patient Society"~
It's descriptive and concise~ just imagine "The ISPS"~ very nice ring to it! Thank you Mark! |
International Society for Spine Patients (ISSP)

I have reserved the domain ispine.org.
Thanks to Lynnie at MGH... we'll be something like International Spine Patients' Information Network E -something or other.... I'm still open to suggestions and am not totally married to the name. More later, Mark |
Federation Spine Patients International (FSPI) (Fispy)
The wording and syntax allows for a more international feel; individual countries can translate more readily without transposing the words. This also provides for future formation of individual country or region-level organizations who may wish to belong to the international Federation. North to south and east to west, that would be: CASPI, USSPI, MEXSPI, ASSPI(uh oh!), NASPI, EUSPI (Gotta think big!) ;-) Not to be left out, I want to form the CCSPI. http://adrsupport.org/groupee_common...icon_smile.gif |
