On Sunday, June 25, in celebration of Scoliosis Awareness month, Coastal Prosthetics and Orthotics hosted an Ice Cream Social for patients who are currently being treated for scoliosis and their families.

The group gathered at Woodstock Park for some kickball and sweet treats. The event allowed patients and their families to interact with Coastal clinicians outside of the clinic. Patients were able to meet each other and share tips about wearing their scoliosis braces. It gave parents the opportunity to talk to each other about the challenges and strategies they employee while raising a child with scoliosis.

The Amputee Coalitions' National Conference will be held in Louisville, Kentucky this August.  It is the largest  gathering of people affected by limb loss in the world!
Each year, the Amputee Coalition hosts hundreds of people who come together to meet or reconnect with friends, attend sessions that cover everything from the practical to the theoretical, and get hands-on experiences with new technologies and activities. Check out the agenda, click here.
