McGill, Chenoweth Receive Achievement Awards

David McGill, JD, and Peggy Chenoweth, advocates for O&P care and people with limb loss, have received Henry Viscardi Achievement Awards for their work in the limb-loss community. The awards, presented on December 1 in New York, recognize “exemplary leaders within the disability community and their extraordinary societal contributions.”


McGill

McGill, vice president of reimbursement and compliance at Össur Americas, Foothill Ranch, California, is also the president of the National Association for the Advancement of Orthotics and Prosthetics (NAAOP). Chenoweth’s blog, The Amputee Mommy, discusses issues affecting people with limb loss, and has a monthly readership of nearly 500,000. She is also a consultant for the Amputee Coalition, where she manages the organization’s social media platforms.

McGill and Chenoweth, who each have a lower-limb amputation, cohost the Amp’d podcast and were instrumental in drawing attention to the Draft Local Coverage Determination (LCD) for Lower Limb Prostheses and to New York state’s restriction of prosthetic care to one prosthetic limb per lifetime in 2015.

The Viscardi Center, the host of the awards, was founded by Henry Viscardi Jr., who had congenital bilateral lower-limb loss. Viscardi was a leader in integrating people with disabilities into the workforce and served as a disability advisor to eight U.S. Presidents, from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Jimmy Carter, before his death in 2004.
