The Rhode Island Brain and Spine Tumor Foundation was established in February 2008. The foundation arose from concerns that Rhode Island patients and their families receive too little support as they face the high-stakes decisions that follow the first suspicion of a brain or spine tumor. Families deserve an outstretched hand if they need one to adjust to changes wrought by the disease. Our foundation has joined medical experts, human service professionals and researchers with persons whose lives have been touched by these tumors.
