As written by our client…

“I have Spinal Muscular Atrophy type 2, which is a muscle wasting condition meaning my body is incredibly weak and I am unable to do most physical tasks. In short, I basically can’t do most things on my own. Due to this, I am looking for a team of PAs to help me in my daily life.
