The Amputee Coalition will bring together people with limb loss/limb difference, their families and healthcare professionals for 4 days of education, support and networking.

We hope to see over 900 attendees in 2009! Don�t miss this opportunity to join hundreds of people who share life experiences and learn from each other.

The purpose of the ACA annual conference is to bring amputees, their peers, health care and other industry professionals together in one arena so they may interface, share expertise, keep abreast of new technologies, products and services, and find solutions to common problems.

Successful outcomes require education and involvement in decision making by the persons affected most closely by the amputation, the amputee. Studies show that positive adaptation is enhanced with access to resources such as peer counseling information and knowledge regarding options in care. Amputees involved in independent activities, including therapeutic/recreational programs, are more successfully rehabilitated and resume active, healthy and productive lives sooner than those without the benefit of such support and information.
