You are invited to a community information and organizing meeting to discuss prosthetic parity in New York!
New Yorkers living with the loss or absence of a limb are facing discouraging obstacles when trying to obtain prosthetic care. Current changes in insurance coverage for prostheses threaten their ability to lead independent, productive lives. This is your opportunity to do something about it.
