Our History:

For over 30 years, the Amputee Coalition has been the leading national organization serving the limb loss community, dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for individuals with limb loss and their families, improving patient care, and preventing limb loss. With offices in Manassas, VA and Knoxville, TN, the Coalition maintains an extensive network of more than 300 limb loss support groups, 1,000 certified peer visitors, and more than 70,000 friends in our database. Each year, we serve tens of thousands of individuals affected by limb loss through our programs and services.
