A helping hand for every step forward
2023 Prosthetic Summer Camp Event at UC Davis Health
A multidisciplinary approach to limb salvage, function, and patient quality of life through relevant & meaningful education, advocacy, and outreach
There are 2 million Americans with an amputation and many more at risk for undergoing an amputation in the future. The cost of necessary healthcare and equipment in the United States can be too much for some to overcome. Finding qualified physicians, podiatrists, therapists, orthotists, prosthetists, and other healthcare providers can be difficult. Knowledge about amputation prevention and disease management does not always reach those who can benefit most from it. The Limb Care Foundation aims to address these areas with the goal of improving the lives of those affected by amputations and helping foster the new generation of healthcare providers that will deliver their care.
