USA Today and the Indianapolis Star recently shared the story of Lindsey Schuler, an Indiana high school cheerleader who sustained a spinal cord injury during a practice in 2016.
After her injury, Lindsey, now a Butler University junior, was a quadriplegic for a time. She eventually regained the ability to walk with hopes to do even more in the future. She is this year’s featured spokesperson for the Brain Bolt 5K, the October 5th Walk/Run presented Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine and Ascension St. Vincent, where she was taken after her injury.
The news story features photos and remarks of Ascension St. Vincent trauma and neuroscience service line director Judi Holsinger, Ascension St. Vincent Indianapolis trauma medical director Lewis Jacobson and trauma program manager Kelly Blanton.
In September, Ascension St. Vincent and Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine – one of the nation’s largest neurosurgery practices – signed an agreement to expand their longstanding partnership by increasing access to care and growing their neurosurgical capabilities for adult and pediatric patients at Ascension St. Vincent Indianapolis and Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at Ascension St. Vincent. In addition, Ascension St. Vincent and Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine will jointly develop a new dedicated neurosurgical center of excellence for advanced surgeries.
