April is Limb Loss Awareness Month. Each day, more than 500 Americans lose a limb; the Amputee Coalition is the leading national organization working to ensure that amputees do not go through this journey alone. In celebration of this month, we are asking Ortho Pro patients who are wearing prostheses to "show off your mettle". We will add the pictures to our next newsletter and post them on our Facebook page! Please email your pictures to: hector@orthoproassociates.com or text them from your cell to 305-726-7991. For more information on what the Amputee Coalition is doing for Limb Loss Awareness Month, click here.
