Bert Burns became a quadriplegic as a result of an automobile accident during his youth. His desire to make a positive difference in the lives of people with disabilities led him to create UroMed.
"It was hard finding a company that offered the products I needed on a daily basis," said Burns. "That was my main reason for starting UroMed; there was a need, and I set out to fill it. Today, UroMed is the third-largest urology company in the nation, but what we do extends much further than offering patients products."
The article also explains why Burns founded Life After Spinal Cord Injury, a nonprofit motivational speaking program. The program is free and offers support to Spinal Cord Injury peer groups and rehabilitation groups across the nation. In 2010, the program provided more than 600 medical professionals, patients, former patients, and family members with information, encouragement, and advice. Providers and clinicians will often sit in on Burns' educational sessions to get a better perspective on life in a wheelchair.
