Patient Education Clinics
An Event for Experienced Upper Extremity Prosthetic Users

Our Upper Extremity team incorporates both science and art into their vocation. The material, techniques and insights they use evolve continuously as new technologies are developed. That's why Hanger offers our exclusive Patient Education Clinic at many Hanger patient care centers across the country. As an upper extremity prosthetic user, this exciting event gives you the opportunity to be evaluated by a nationally recognized upper extremity prosthetic specialist.

Patient Education Clinics are free of charge and open to anyone who has a concern or challenge regarding their prosthesis. Many of the people in attendance are prosthetic users who are not currently Hanger patients. However, Hanger patients may also take advantage of this special opportunity to consult with a national expert.

Consult the schedule below to find out when the next Patient Education Clinic is scheduled for your area. Once you have determined the date and location, call the Hanger office to schedule a time for your education.

There are many benefits to attending a Patient Education Clinic including:

• A personal, one-on-one, 30 minute education by a Hanger Socket Specialist

• Expert recommendations on improving the fit, comfort or function of your prosthesis, brace or support

• The chance to meet and share information with other prosthetic users

• Access to information and DVDs on the newest technologies

The Hanger Patient Education Clinic is the event you've been waiting for...

• If it's been a while since your last education by a prosthetist

• If your prosthesis causes you pain or discomfort

• If you feel like maybe you'll never be a successful prosthetic user or that no one has really been able to help you before
