MARC Members Message The Amputee Coalition is a national nonprofit organization that supports people who have lost limbs or were born with limb differences. Their mission is to empower individuals through education, peer support, advocacy, and prevention.
Key points MARC members should know:
Support & Community: The Coalition connects people with limb loss to trained peer mentors, support groups, and programs for youth and adults. This helps members feel less isolated and more confident in their daily lives.
Education & Resources: They provide accurate information about prosthetics, rehabilitation, emotional adjustment, and living with limb loss. Families and caregivers also benefit from these resources.
Advocacy & Access: They work to improve access to prosthetic and orthotic care and influence policies that affect people with limb loss.
Prevention: Many limb losses are preventable, so the Coalition also educates the public about health strategies to reduce risk.
