Amputee Coalition of America (ACA) Keeps Focus on Health with APPLL
Core: Your Health
Keep informed. Keep learning. Stay healthy. These are just a few of the
mantras for the ACA's Action Plan for People with Limb Loss (APPLL).
Amputees face the same general health problems as able-bodied people,
but ACA tailors information about nutrition and healthful lifestyles to
the unique needs of those with limb loss. In addition to advocating on
behalf of people with limb loss and working for prosthetic parity with
concerned citizens on a state-by-state level, APPLL is dedicated to
educating amputees, and people at risk for amputation due to secondary
conditions, about healthful life choices.
Supporting some of the important health initiatives that are promoted
each month by various national organizations, ACA's APPLL Core: Your
Health is a newsletter that provides an article pertinent to amputees,
with suggested Web sites for additional information on the topic. For
example, May is Older American Month, sponsored by the U.S.
Administration on Aging, and the current issue of APPLL Core: Your
Health features the ACA article, Coping With Aging and Amputation: How
Changing the Way You Think Could Change Your Health. This article
discusses emotional health as a pathway to improve quality of life when
living with limb loss as a senior.
A new APPLL Core: Your Health is available each month on the ACA Web
site at www.amputee-coalition.org/nllic_about.html and via e-mail
subscription. Send your subscription request to
<Email Address Redacted> This newsletter is frequently used by
amputee support groups across the country for topics to get meeting
discussions flowing. In addition to being delivered directly to people
with limb loss, this resource is very popular among healthcare
professionals. For quality, simple and timely patient education
materials, healthcare providers benefit from printing new issues of
APPLL Core: Your Health for their patients every month.
APPLL Core: Your Health is only one of many educational resources that
the ACA publishes for healthcare professionals and amputees. To learn
more, please visit the ACA Web site or call toll-free at 888/AMP-KNOW
(267-5669).
Founded in 1986, the Amputee Coalition of America (ACA) is a national
501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee.
The mission of the ACA is to reach out to people with limb loss and to
empower them through education, support and advocacy. Through a
cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), the ACA maintains the National Limb Loss Information
Center (NLLIC), the nation's most comprehensive source of information
for people living with limb differences. For more information, visit
