Join The National Coalition For Amputees In improving The Quality of Life for Amputees
MISSION:
The mission is to provide services to those who are in need of artificial limbs
This is accomplished through education, support, advocacy, and empowerment.
Each year many individuals join the ranks of amputees nationally and internationally. Cutting edge prosthetic technology has enabled amputees to return to a surprisingly active lifestyle. However, many patients lack the financial resources to obtain an artificial limb, and the recent strides in technology does not benefit them.
Because of financial constraints or limitations, these patients are often forced to sacrifice their freedom and independence, and thus are often unable to live a normal lifestyle and achieve their full potential.
Artificial limbs are expensive. Being fitted for an artificial limb is expensive. Rehabilitation care for an amputee is expensive.
