The Amputee Coalition of America is an organization dedicated to providing advocacy, support, and education to support their mission. Their mission statement reads, "To reach out to and empower people affected by limb loss to achieve their full potential through education, support and advocacy, and to promote limb loss prevention."
Their mission statement cannot be any closer to the truth.
The organization's website is filled with various helpful information for anyone seeking to empower themselves. The information has a wide range of topics including: support groups, scholarship opportunities, advocacy action center (which keeps readers involved with government changes), and other useful links. Perhaps our favorite is the National Limb Loss Information Center, which provides comprehensive resources for people with limb loss, as well as their families, friends, and the health care professionals involved in their lives. Which can be found at this
link.
