It is estimated that 1 in 10 amputees are unable to obtain a prosthesis due to financial difficulty, and in Texas, Medicaid does not cover prosthetics for adults.

The Prosthetic Foundation exists to help amputees throughout Texas who need financial assistance.

The Prosthetic Foundation was established in 2010 as a 501 C (3) nonprofit organization to help uninsured and underinsured amputees throughout Texas. The Prosthetic Foundation is committed to ensuring amputees receive a prosthesis and the follow-up care essential to regaining mobility and independence.

The loss of a limb can create a severe challenge and prevent an amputee from being able to perform the activities of daily living that many of us take for granted. The physical and psychological independence that a prosthesis can provide not only affects the amputee but can make a world of difference for their family and everyone around them.

A prosthesis is also crucial in preventing additional health complications from being sedentary in a wheelchair.
