Gold Award Girl Scout: Emma M.
Take Action Project: We Got Your Back

Emma's Girl Scout Gold Award project focused around creating a supportive community for patients undergoing ASC scoliosis surgery. When Emma was diagnosed with severe scoliosis, she was told she would have to have spinal fusion surgery to correct it. After months of research she found a new surgery called ASC which is not as invasive. Throughout this process Emma didn't have anyone who had gone through this surgery, and wished she had a support group.
