ACA, OPAF Announce First Clinics Partnership

The Amputee Coalition of America (ACA) and the Orthotic & Prosthetic Assistance Fund (OPAF) have partnered to promote awareness of and participation in OPAF's nationwide First Clinics.

"By partnering with the ACA, we believe we will see increased attendance at our First Clinics," said Robin Burton, OPAF executive director. "We are building on a strong working relationship with the ACA and see this agreement as benefiting both organizations."

Under this agreement, OPAF will also promote ACA membership through its First Clinics activities. "This exchange of goods will also include mutual promotion of each organization's work within the orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) community, including the ACA's work toward fair insurance coverage for prosthetic devices," Burton said.

Kendra Calhoun, ACA president and CEO, said, "OPAF's nationally recognized and award-winning First Clinics have been very successful in introducing or reintroducing people with limb loss to sports and activities that they may have thought lost to them. The ACA is working to enhance its community reintegration programs, and this partnership with OPAF will play an integral role in the area of wellness and fitness for people with limb loss."

OPAF will premiere McKeever's First Ride TM , an introduction to equine therapy, at the ACA national conference this June in Atlanta, Georgia. "We are looking forward to beginning this new First Clinic and are confident that participants will enjoy the horses and learn about adaptive riding and horse care for fun, fellowship, and fitness," Burton said.
