The Amputee Coalition of America invites you to a series of community information and organizing meetings to discuss prosthetic parity in Tennessee!
Tennesseans living with the loss or absence of a limb are facing discouraging obstacles when trying to obtain prosthetic care. Current changes in insurance coverage for prostheses threaten their ability to lead independent, productive lives. This is your opportunity to do something about it.
Join the Amputee Coalition of America in a meeting to discuss pushing for prosthetic coverage in the Tennessee state legislature!
