Amputee Clinic
 
Our mission at North Mississippi Medical Center’s Amputee Clinic is to provide patients a comprehensive clinic in a convenient setting; and to evaluate and provide for their needs concerning prosthetics, supplies, skin care and emotional support after an amputation.

Our goals are to:

	Provide interested patients an opportunity to utilize an artificial limb

	Monitor changes in skin integrity with prosthesis usage
	Provide patient with periodic re-evaluations or upgrades of the present prosthesis
	Provide patient and family with education regarding the prosthesis and skin care

Support Group
Our support group is designed to establish a network of contacts for our patients. We hope to provide a setting in which patients can talk with each other, provide support and share experiences.

Friendships and a sense of belonging may develop from being a part of this group.

Sometimes people hesitate to attend meetings or join groups, so we want patients to know that they are not required to attend, but the support group is available if needed.

The support group is open to patients with amputations, their spouses, family members and friends. The support group often includes guest speakers presenting on a variety of topics. Lunch is provided.
