Mission Statement
New England Amputee Association’s mission is to reach out to people with limb loss and provide a supportive environment where information and experiences are shared and friendships are formed.
What We Do
- Provide guest speakers at our monthly group meetings to inform amputees and their families on a wide range of topics relating to living with limb loss.
- Other group activities include annual cookouts, holiday parties, and various other functions throughout the year.
- We have ACA Certified Peer volunteers to visit recent amputees and their families.
- Attend health fairs; speak to organizations and schools to educate people about living with limb loss.
You Are Not Alone
Over 2 million Americans live with limb loss. Each year, on average, 185,000 amputations are performed in the United States.
Losing a limb is a significant loss. Don’t let a limb loss prevent you from living your life; there are actions that you can take by coming to our meetings and letting us help you gain knowledge in how to cope with limb loss.
If you have any questions or concerns about living with limb loss, please don’t hesitate to e-mail one of the group members for more information.
