OPAF clinics get O&P patients moving

The Orthotic & Prosthetic Activities Foundation (OPAF) has signed two significant 2012 sponsors for its First Clinic series of no-cost, introductory adaptive recreational clinics for individuals served by the O&P community.

Owings Mills, MD-based Board of Certification International has upped its 2011 Bronze-level sponsorship to Silver, and Troy, MI-based Becker Orthopedic is a Bronze-level sponsor for the second consecutive year.

Cary, IL-based Gulbrandson Orthotics & Prosthetics will host a First Clinic event on Sunday, February 12. First Dance Clinic, adaptive social dancing for those with physical challenges, will run from 2 to 5 pm at the Holiday Inn Crystal Lake.
