The Orthotic and Prosthetic Group of America (OPGA) honored several O&P providers recently with a 2025 Freedom Award in recognition of their exceptional care of military personnel needing O&P devices.
“O&P professionals play a vital role not only in the lives of individual patients but also in the health and resilience of entire communities,” said Jeff Kessler, director of OPGA. “Their work with veterans often inspires broader awareness and appreciation for the O&P profession, and the OPGA Freedom Award helps shine a light on that ripple effect of care and commitment.”
The 2025 Freedom Award recipients include:
