What We Do

Paralyzed Veterans of America Great Plains Chapter is dedicated to improving the quality of life for paralyzed veterans and other individuals living with disabilities. Our services include advocacy, veteran benefits, and sports and recreation. For over 50 years we have helped veterans with spinal cord injuries, as well as other individuals living with disabilities, across Nebraska, Western Iowa, and Kansas.
