Sarah Wooden, CPO

As part of the bachelor of science degree program in rehabilitation services at Springfield College that Sarah Wooden, CPO, was pursuing, she took a required course called Introduction to Rehabilitation, designed to familiarize students with the allied healthcare services they might encounter during their careers. Robert Lipschutz, CP, at the time the assistant director of the Newington Certificate Program, spoke about the prosthetics profession. It was Lipschutz’s presentation that piqued Wooden’s interest in O&P. She began her career in 1999 as an orthotist, and in 2008 earned her prosthetics certificate from Newington. She is currently the practice manager at the Ability Prosthetics & Orthotics, York, Pennsylvania, clinic.
