The Amputee Coalition is excited to announce a new initiative created specifically for Professionals who serve the limb loss and limb difference community: Care²

Care² is a volunteer-based program offered to professionals who are interested in providing patient-centered service to the limb loss and limb difference community. The opportunity to become Care² certified will allow you, the professional, to implement a cycle of care in conjunction with the Amputee Coalition Certified Peer Visitor program. As a professional, we are looking to provide a knowledge base showcasing your listening skills while talking with those on the the limb loss or limb difference journey about your professional experience.


What Care² means:

Communication
Accountability
Resources
Engagement
Compassionate
Adaptable
Respectful
Educated

All people working with patients should practice patient-centered care. What are the right questions to ask when being a successful facilitator of patient-centered care? What information do patients need and how can I help make connections? What obstacles are present that the patient may need to overcome?

Care² facilitates the ability to create a ‘Care Team’ (O&P provider, PT/OT, Physiatrist and CPV)
that provides a fully rounded experience that includes professional insight and the learned experience.

What is in it for me? If you can gain the trust of your patients, you will, in turn, receive marketing as your patients will want to speak about your ability to connect with them, continued loyalty as they will only want you to provide their care, and have the opportunity to build your reputation.

Mission Statement

To educate passionate professionals on patient-centric processes for members of the limb loss and limb difference community and to facilitate meaningful connections with Certified Peer Visitors and those living within the limb loss and limb difference community.

August 4th at 4-4:45 PM – Love the Community Session
