Kevin Hoagland suffered a spinal cord injury in 1978, one year after graduating from St. Peter's High School. However, the C 4/5 quadriplegic has not it hold him back one bit. Kevin credits his family for instilling in him the compulsion to help others, and he's been doing just that in many different ways for years.
As the Chairman of New Brunswick, NJ's Mayor's Committee for a Barrier Free town since 1988, he has been instrumental in making his hometown more accessible. Kevin was elected 6 times a Middlesex County Surrogate, and is the very proud founder and president of the Central Jersey Spinal Cord Association (1985 - present). If that wasn't enough, Kevin received the New Jersey Hall of Fame's Unsung Hero Award in 2018!
If you haven't figured it out yet, Kevin Hoagland is my guest on this week's QuadCast! Thanks for all you do on behalf of the SCI community Kevin!
