Jack Steele, CO, LPO, FAAOP

In 2011, after working in O&P for more than 30 years, Jack Steele, CO, LPO, FAAOP, opened the Center
for Orthotics & Prosthetics Inc. (COPI), Memphis, Tennessee. He sees patients, most of whom are
children, at the two COPI locations, as well as at visits to outpatient clinics and to the city’s Le Bonheur
Children’s Hospital. He says that while his career has provided many opportunities, the years have not
been without challenges. He holds as his philosophy a quote from Proverbs 24:10: “He who faints in the
day of adversity, his strength is small.”
