NeuroLab 360 is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization owned and operated by Doctors of Physical Therapy who are Board Certified Neurologic Clinical Specialists. They are on a mission to provide affordable, specialized, and accessible physical therapy and wellness that is not bound by insurance limitations. NeuroLab 360 is a private pay clinic in order to focus on each individual's goals rather than what insurance deems as medically necessary. However, they fundraise via grants and private donations in order to provide their services on a sliding scale. They specialize in the treatment of any neurologic condition including Spinal Cord Injury, Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury, Parkinson's Disease, Vertigo and Balance Disorders, Multiple Sclerosis, and ALS. NeuroLab 360 was started as a clinic to serve individuals in the community who have been limited by their insurance, have run out of insurance-covered visits, or would like an adjunct to their current physical therapy plan in order to achieve the frequency and duration of treatment necessary to meet their goals!

Encinitas Chamber of Commerce and Partners - Opportunities for Corporate Involvement: SDNEDC and Partners Launch Student Opportunities for Career Awareness and Learning |
|
One of the biggest challenges holding back North County’s economy is the difficulty many companies face finding and recruiting talent. With unemployment in the region standing at 4.6% and with even more pronounced shortages in fields that require technical proficiencies, it is among the most important issues that SDNEDC will be addressing in 2022.
Part of that effort will center around SOCAL (Student Opportunities for Career Awareness and Learning), a collaborative project between Tri-City Medical Center, SDNEDC, and 6 chambers (Encinitas, Vista, Oceanside, Carlsbad, San Marcos & Escondido). The goal of SOCAL is to raise awareness among young adults about different careers they might not know about and provide some of the resources and educational pathways that can help them pursue the opportunities.
Should your company be interested in participating as we build out the library, please contact admin@encinitaschamber.com. We have attractive sponsorship packages that will produce three videos of different team members and then elevate the visibility of various job postings and opportunities at your firm. The goal of SOCAL is to have 100 different North County workers highlighted by the end of the year.
