Dear [Name],

The Spina Bifida Association (SBA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are interested in learning more about care coordination in spina bifida clinics. To accomplish this, we are inviting a limited number of spina bifida clinics to share their experiences with care coordination. The goals of this study are to examine the extent to which care coordination in spina bifida clinics is perceived as effective, identify perceived barriers to providing care coordination in spina bifida clinics, and identify potential best practices related to providing care coordination in spina bifida clinics. Your clinic has been selected to be invited to participate in this project.

The enclosed brochure provides information about this project and describes what your participation would involve. I will soon be contacting you by phone to personally invite your clinic to participate in this project.

This care coordination project builds on the SBA survey your clinic completed recently. Battelle will conduct the interviews and focus groups described in the enclosed brochure.

Thank you in advance for your interest in and assistance with this important project. We believe the information gained can be beneficial to providing optimal care for those we serve. If you have any questions or would like further information, please contact me at xxx-xxx-xxxx. I look forward to talking with you.

Sincerely,

Cindy Brownstein

CEO, SBA
