Paul, Quick update. Please post.

We all made it to Santo Domingo and right now are getting ready to board
flight to Port au Prince. The Dominican Republic peoples support and
compassion has been incredible!!! We are especially thankful to Danny and
Freddy at Innovacion Ortopedica. Please continue to send good thoughts and
prayers.

We hear communication is spotty in PAP but we hope to email, text or IM
everyone.

Take care,

Al Ingersoll

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





 

I just wanted to keep you all up to date on the current press information
that is being presented by the O&P community collectively so that a
consistent message and mission is being shared. In the best interest of the
people being served, it is important for the messages and actions being
taken to be well coordinated for the greatest long term benefit.

 

Postings have been done on the O&P Listserv (oandp-l)- which goes out to
4500 subscribers, the US ISPO (International Society for Prosthetics and
Orthotics, US national member society) website has had a recent update, The
American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists has also send a press
release to all of its members and updated its website, the leading
publication in the profession-The O&P Edge put an update out at
