Join us for an unforgettable experience at this year's Fall Meeting. In this exclusive Build-A-Hand session, participants will craft prosthetic hands for those in need, restoring independence and dignity globally. You’ll experience the transformative power of helping others, strengthen connections with colleagues, and tap into creative problem-solving in a dynamic, hands-on environment. The Build-A-Hand program has worked with hundreds of organizations to distribute 75,000 hands in 90 countries to those who cannot afford a prosthetic device. The demand continues, as world health organizations estimate that 6 to 7 million people are in need of a prosthetic hand. Don't miss this chance to make a difference and build a better world together, one hand at a time! | ||
