We are here to support you and your family as long as you have a need for a prosthesis. We welcome visits to adjust the comfort, fit, and performance of your prosthesis.
- Please plan to join our Amputee Support Group Community. This group meets every other month to receive advance care techniques, discuss individual challenges, and advocate on behalf of the amputee community.
