I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Eric
Westover, I'm a below-elbow amputee and Founder/CEO of the UpperEx National
Outreach Coalition, a 501c3 nonprofit.
The UNOC is a national Foundation serving the unique needs of those affected
by an upper extremity limb loss or difference through programs, services,
events, and resources.
Our UE Peer Visitor Network matches new amputees, family members, and
friends with experienced amputees, family members, and friends to assist in
providing support and information through email, phone, and when possible,
face-to-face meetings.
We also organize events around the country including golf tournaments,
trap/sporting clay shoots, fishing events and social gatherings for UE
amputees and their families to connect and share information.
Our UE seminar series travels around the country to work with Therapists,
Case Managers, Social Workers, Prosthetists, MD's, and Nurses to provide
current and up-to-date information regarding upper extremity amputees and
their care as well as new products and services that become available.
We have partnered with OPAF, Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors, National
Rehabilitation Hospital, Washington, D.C, and Walter Reed Army Medical
Center.
Our sister site, UpperEx.Com (www.UpperEx.com) ,provides information and
resources including tips & tricks, a glove swap, and a downloadable magazine
filled with stories, products and more geared for UE amputees.
We are working hard to spread the word, but I wanted to ask for your help
and support in telling your patients and facilities about us. We are always
looking to work with facilities to provide seminars, peer visits, events,
etc. in their areas.
We are always looking for prospective Board members, committee members, and
volunteers throughout the country. If you're interested in getting involved
don't hesitate to contact me by phone or email.
Together we can Facilitate positive outcomes for this underserved
population.
Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions or if we can
assist in providing services to your patients.
