Yes You Can - Fourth Edition - vii

Acknowledgments We ﬁrst wish to thank all of the contributors to this fourth edition of Yes, You Can! Most authors of the current and prior editions have been members of the Spinal Cord Injury Service staﬀ at the Veterans Aﬀairs Puget Sound Health Care System (VAPSHCS) in Seattle, Washington. We also want to thank those individuals from outside VAPSHCS who wrote or edited chapters for this edition: Rosemarie Rossetti, Teresa Valois, Theresa Boyd, and Daniel Jones. Also, many of the chapters in the current edition contain information that has been modiﬁed from earlier versions written by diﬀerent authors. For all but the new chapters, it would be unfair to attribute authorship to any single individual, and we thank those prior contributors. Much of what we know about spinal cord injury (SCI) comes from our experience treating patients on our SCI unit over the past 25 years, and we wish to acknowledge those veterans with SCI who have contributed to the knowledge and expertise of the authors. We also acknowledge the continuing support of patient education and health promotion for persons with SCI that has been provided by VAPSHCS and the Department of Veterans Aﬀairs. The views expressed in this work are those of the authors and do not necessarily reﬂect the views or opinions of the Department of Veterans Aﬀairs. Contributors to Yes, You Can! 4th Ed.
