OPAF TO BE GUEST ON RADIO SHOW/WEBCAST
Dr. Jeffrey Reznick, Executive Director and Senior Research Fellow at
the Orthotic and Prosthetic Assistance Fund (OPAF), has been invited to
represent the organization on Breakthrough, a Los Angeles-based
talk-radio program that serves as a discussion forum and information
resource for individuals with disabilities.
Sponsored by American Medical Prosthetics and Orthotics, Breakthrough
airs every Saturday night from 9:00 - 10:00 pm Pacific Standard Time on
KRLA AM 870. The broadcast reaches a wide area, from San Diego to Santa
Barbara, and it is also available worldwide via KRLA's website:
<URL Redacted>
Dimitri Yagdjis, CPO and CEO of American Medical Prosthetics and
Orthotics, co-hosts the show with the Producer and DJ, Darryl Evans, an
individual afflicted with Post-Polio Syndrome.
In his invitation to OPAF, Yagdjis cited the organization's recent
informational mailing to the O&P community. OPAF described its recent
accomplishments in programs for individuals with disabilities and,
through these and other initiatives, its representation of O&P in public
and philanthropic circles.
Dr. Reznick will be interviewed about OPAF, about his expertise in the
history of medicine and prosthetics, and about his forthcoming book on
caregiving during the First World War, a portion of which addresses the
history of prosthetics during that era. The book, entitled _Healing the
Nation: Soldiers and the Culture of Caregiving in Great Britain during
the Great War_, will be published later this month by Manchester
University Press in the United Kingdom. It will be distributed in the
United States in spring 2005 by Palgrave.
OPAF's spotlight on Breakthrough is scheduled to take place LIVE
tomorrow, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, at 9pm Pacific Standard Time.
