OPAF TO RECEIVE PROCEEDS FROM UPCOMING PRIMEFARE GOLF TOURNAMENT
Washington, DC - The PrimeCare O&P Network will host its fourth annual
PrimeFare seminar and second PrimeFare Golf Tournament at the Whispering
Woods Conference Center near Memphis, TN May 29 - 31. Proceeds from this
event will be donated to the Orthotic and Prosthetic Assistance Fund
(OPAF). Proceeds from the 2002 tournament yielded a $2,000 donation to
OPAF.
OPAF thanks The PrimeCare O&P Network for their continued generosity and
ongoing support.
The PrimeFare seminar classroom sessions, meetings and workshops will
include a popular administrative track that features classes on HIPAA
compliance and L-coding. This year's classes offer a total of 35 CEU's,
with 12.5 prosthetic credits or 11.5 orthotic credits possible, and the
remainder in concurrent administrative credits.
The golf tournament has been re-christened the Jackovitch Invitational
Golf Tournament, in honor of Tony Jackovitch, founder of Orthotic &
Prosthetic Components, Inc., whose efforts were so vital to the success
of the 2002 tournament.
A traveling trophy will be surrendered by last year's winners, and
presented to the 2003 tournament winners at a Friday evening reception
sponsored by Boston Brace.
Rapidly increasing attendance and vendor presence at previous PrimeFare
seminars dictated the change of venue to this Memphis area site,
according to PrimeCare president Catherine Griffith.
We're very excited about this fantastic new location for the seminar,
which has enabled us to add some special features, Griffith said. For
instance, we've invited Elvis and his backup singers to join us at our
reception!
And thanks to our great group of generous sponsors-like Fillauer,
Boston Brace, Camp Healthcare and others, the growth of our annual
seminar is keeping pace with the continuing growth of the Network.
This year's sessions include speakers from Atlanta International, Becker
Orthopedic, Chas. A. Blatchford & Sons, Cascade DAFO, Fillauer, Jim
Smith Sales, MedFlex, Ohio Willow Wood, Ossur, Otto Bock, Silipos, and
more.
For more information about the seminar, please contact Jane Edwards,
Account Manager and/or Cathie Griffith, President, PrimeCare O&P
Network, LLC at 888-388-5243, or visit the PrimeCare website at
www.primecareop.com .
OPAF is the official philanthropy - the 501(c)(3) public charity - of
the U.S. orthotics and prosthetics (O&P) community - established in 1995
by the Orthotic and Prosthetic National Office. Dedicated initially to
providing financial and in-kind support to the 1996 Paralympics, OPAF
now generates its own initiatives through partnerships with individuals,
organizations and institutions engaged in raising public awareness of
disability and improving the quality of rehabilitation medicine, science
and technology.
As a community-focused nonprofit organization, OPAF aims primarily to
enable individuals with physical disabilities-especially those served by
members of the orthotics and prosthetics community-to enjoy the rewards
of personal achievement, physical fitness, and social interaction.
All contributions to OPAF are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of
U.S. law, and annual sponsorships of and volunteer opportunities with
OPAF, its programs, and its fundraisers are available to every
individual, institution, and company inside and beyond the O&P
