Spinal Champion Advocates may choose not to respond to patient messages that appear to be spam or abuse. they are not required to respond, they are encouraged to forward requests to the NSHF Program Manager. The National Spine Health Foundation reserves the right to remove them from the Spinal Champion Advocates program at any time.
