NEW YORK – United Spinal Association has appointed Arielle Rausin as director of Chapter and Hospital Network Relations and Engagement. Rausin’s appointment will strengthen the association’s National Chapter Network and Hospital Network at a time when disability issues are gaining greater visibility and advancements are being made in health care and air transportation. “Our chapters and hospital partners are the heart of our grassroots movement, bringing our mission to life in communities across the country,” said Vincenzo Piscopo, United Spinal president and CEO. “We’re thrilled to welcome Arielle as our new director of Chapter and Hospital Network Relations.
